Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Good book. I bought after my son an I got diagnosed, before I knew nothing about it other then what I saw on t.v. there is so much more to dyslexia and this is perfect to better understand the disorder and people who have it in a fun way. I highly recomend to anyone who has dyslexia or knows someone who does. Dyslexia is very missunderstood.

⭐Easy to follow and has great information.

⭐I teach adults to read and found several helpful sections with ideas to provide my students with the skills they need to become readers

⭐There were several thoughtful hints and ideas as well as explanations. On the other hand, there is a lot of repitition. It does get anoying reading the same thing three or four times. I can understand repeating some important things a few times, but I read very slow, so I don’t have any desire to continually read the same thing four times.

⭐I ordered this book after reading it at the library. I really enjoyed the easy to read format, and the tips for helping my son is what made me go ahead and order my own copy.HOWEVER,my large complaint is this is a depressing book! It gives the negative “future” of dyslexic children as limited to careers that dont require higher education. It goes on to talk about most dyslexics are dropouts, unemployed or at dead end minimum wage jobs.Obviously that is not true. While I’m sure many are, it is NOT the norm. Dyslexia does not limit possiblities. Yet, this book seems to focus on the negative rather that the positive that can happen with good intervention.It’s still a good book, just ignore the negative and remember that your child’s future isn’t limited by dyslexia.

⭐This book is awesome !!! It is my Bible and the only tool I needed to help me understand, find the right help and support for my daughter who was recently diagnosised with Dyslexia. I have recommened it to all my family, friends and colleagues.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for helpor infomation “Everything you need to know” on Dyslexia.Thank you,Victoria SuojaMotherHigh School ParaeducatorPTA Special Needs CommitteeGirl Scout Leader5th grade Religious Education TeacherAmerican League Baseball Apparel Committee Chair

⭐I bought this book because the teachers think that my grandson may be dyslexic and I would recommend it to any parent or grandparent like myself. My daughter bought another book but we both like this one best. This book has so much practical information and the author puts it all into clear terms. My daughter and I both understand what a diagnosis entails now and we know what to expect and ask for. I couldn’t help noticing, with a chuckle, that the “expert” who gave this book one star could herself use a spelling lesson!

⭐This book is total fiction. I am a teacher working with many Dyslexics of all ages and none of the important or helpful information is referenced. If I were using this as a resource I would be seriously disheartened. fortunately there is valuable research being done and many successful programs available and many stunning breakthroughs right over the horizon.

⭐Despite being a primary school teacher (grade school), and having 16 years experience in special needs I found this book both matter of fact and somewhat comforting. No one can give you straight answers about your child’s needs or solutions to them. There is only one expert on your child…..you. I found this book easy to digest and able to provide me with strategies and ideas about how to tackle his needs and his schools lack of understanding.

⭐I like to learn
