A Good Overview Jun 20, 2010
By Spudman
The first 64 pages of the book constitute the body of the book. Following this are appendix after appendix detailing possible accomodations for dyslexic and ADHD students, resourses, glossary, and bibliography.
Although dyslexia is not addressed with extensive depth, the book is very understandable, easy to read,not jargon-laden, and not the least bit condescending. It's a book best for parents or educators who want at least a cursory knowledge of the syptoms of dyslexia and ways to accomodate such students.
I would have liked more information about the brain structure of dyslexics and at least some mention of the problems of distractability and lack of a normal sound filter for dyslexics.
There are plenty of suggested sources and general guidelines but no specific exercices or activities in the book. An Amazon browse session taught me that testing and teaching materials in this area are not inexpensive.
Most of the suggested accomodations for teachers and parents are good, but a few are contradictory or impractical.
The author doesn't paint a pretty picture about dyslexia. Those with the condition must accept their disability, not use it as an excuse in school, and must resolve to work harder to become as functional as possible. There is no cure, but improvement is possible and new studies hold exciting and hopeful possibilities for dyslexics.
