Overcoming Dyslexia: Second Edition, Completely Revised and Updated

I just started a job as my school's dyslexia expert and I bought this and I simply can't tell you how amazing it is. Absolutely brilliant. It's theoretical and practical and full of information! Great great book for teachers or parents!

I have used the guidance in the book to improve my daughter's challenges with dyslexia and I have a success story to tell. She excelled in her exams after having been below the average over the last 2 years. Time (and money) really well spent.

Very good book this was a real help to a family member struggling with this problem Well written and a good lay our thank you

good book if a little long winded!

Book arrived on time & in excellent condition. Gives a fascinating perspective on the challenges of Dyslexia.

ESta muy bien y es muy sólido a nivel científico pero no es adecuado para el sistema español. De todas maneras la autora es una de las mayores expertas del mundo en dislexia

This is a worthwhile book to have

This is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the topic. Practical and easy to read, Overcoming Dyslexia helps demystify a confusing and misunderstood topic.

This was an amazing book. There IS hope if you or someone you know is dyslexic! This is an encouraging book that empowers you to take charge and help your child,student, yourself... become a stronger reader! Dispells many myths about dyslexia and what it is. Focuses on strategies and curriculum based on strong research. Describes how the brain works when it comes to language... and how brain scans have shown "improvement" in areas of the brain (left lobes) that have been activated after effective reading strategies and programs have been implemented. It is filled with lots and lots of specific, practical ideas, resources and information about how readers learn to read and how we can help children (and adults) who have difficulty reading. Although the title refers to dyslexia, it is a great book if you want to understand how the reading process works and what you can do as a parent/teacher/caregiver to help your child overcome dyslexia,to solidify your child's reading skills if they don't have dyslexia, or to get them off to a great start reading in the early years. There are also specific descriptions of which signs to look for EARLY ON to detect any reading difficulties or dyslexia and address them then. I used many of the ideas in the text with my own daughter who is learning to read... and also with a few students I've worked with who struggle with reading. I was surprised to find that many of the descriptions in the book, of the kinds of errors that children with reading difficulties or dyslexia make, exactly described some of the things I was seeing with the children I worked with. This is a book I borrowed from the library first, then knew, without a doubt, I had to buy and have for a reference again and again!

Excellent book!
