A MUST Read For Parents
If your child is dyslexic you must read this book.Whether your child is in public school, private school, a school for exceptional children or you are considering homeschooling, this book will help every parent understand how to make a positive impact on your dyslexic child.My son has been through all those environments and, although I have a background in education, I benefitted tremendously from this book.
I initially bought this book because I was considering homeschooling.I really could have used it beforehand when my son was in private and, later, public school.Neither the most trusted private school nor the best A-rated public school could adequately address my son's dyslexia.The pull-out services were woefully inadequate and not even directed at dyslexic learners.After realizing his school situation was unacceptable and only teaching him to feel like a failure, I made the tough decision to pull him out.
As a single-parent who worked full-time, I was concerned that, even working at home and convincing his older brother to help, I would be overwhelmed.Instead, the book encouraged me that teaching a dyslexic homeschooler was truly about finding those teachable moments wherever they appeared.Whether it was writing a chore list for him, or a list of movie times for him to review on a Saturday night, this book gave the tools to make every situation a learning experience.In two years he went from four grade-levels behind to grade level.He was literate and enjoyed reading.The hardship came when he was passing from "reader" into "writer". No book could seem to adequately address dyslexic writers.Spelling is such an issue, as are rules of grammar.Ultimately, we ended up moving to a town that had a school for dyslexia to address these issues.However, the administrators were very impressed with how far he had come in only two years of homeschooling and, as a result, he was able to leave the exceptional school after only two years and is now successful in a mainstream program.What a blessing this book was!

Dyslexia
A very informative book which has assisted me in many ways to understand the total issue. I would like to recommend this to everyone who shares this "problem"

Don't bother
I teach reading to high school students with a wide range of disabilities, including dyslexia.The title is misleading -- there is very little new information for middle through high school teachers.If you teach first through fourth grades, and don't have much experience with reading disabilities, you might find some good advice, otherwise, don't bother.

Interesting
I ordered this because my son is dyslexic and I decided to home school him this year.I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far what I have read has been very informative.I can't wait to finish it.

great resource

Never got the book I ordered!
I never received the book!!!!All I got was the CD which contains the Appendices.!

Outstanding
I never knew that LD issues could be so interesting.I was entranced by the literary stylings of Dr.Brinckerhoff, as he not only assesses but also breaks down the intricies and effects upon college students with LD.The collaberation of McGuire, Shaw, and Brinckerhoff results in one of the most informative books of my lifetime. ...
