Review: A Must Read for Parents, Educators and Rdg Teachers! - 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!
Review: Highly Recommend! - I purchased the book for a class and LOVED it! It is very informative and easy to read without an education background. I highly recommend this book for ALL educators. I also recommend it to parents who may be concerned about their child(ren)'s reading development.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best DYSLEXIA book around because it focuses on students strengths and quality educational research
*by J***T on September 10, 2017*

I have used this book over and over for more then 10 years now to help students learn to read. What I love most is it focuses on student strengths and gives concrete action steps to help your child overcome dyslexia today. A parent is a students biggest advocate and manned with this book you can help your child get the education they deserve to learn to read. This is the best book written on teaching for struggling readers and offers concrete interventions that are scientifically researched based for helping students learn to read. As Shaywitz says, ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN TO READ and parents need to advocate for their students. As a teacher I have met special education educator, after teacher, superintendents, and parents who swear by this method of learning. It's good for all students. 1 in five students in every classroom is a struggling reader and this book should be MANDATORY for all educators k-12+. I have used these methods, especially text fluency which she says is the number one intervention and any parent can do to help students. Students with dyslexia proper need a specific program, I recommend Reading Mastery myself but all students can learn to read and the evidence is clear including the updated brain research and the steps to take. If only all educators had a copy.
