The Everything Parents Guide to Children with Dyslexia (All you need to ensure your child's success) Sep 24, 2008
After my 8 year old granddaughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia, we have researched and read as much as possible on the subject. This book opened our eyes to understanding dyslexia. We learned what to expect from teachers, administrators, and tutors as well as how she processes information in her ability to learn and communicate. Our granddaughter has experienced frustration and low self esteem issues that go along with this learning disability and this book gave us more insight as how to deal with all the issues surrounding dyslexia better than other books we had reviewed.

Gentle, Easy Starter!! Dec 29, 2007
I love this book!!! I have a dyslexic child and a home library of books the haved helped me along the way. I found this book later in my plight and could have saved alot of money if I had it first. It is informative, easy to read, helpful, and hopeful with real world suggestions. Definitely a keeper. I still refer to it when I get frustrated. It is a book I use to talk with my child about her problems. Yes there are other books with great suggestions but this is the best starter out there!!!

A clear path through the LD maze... Jun 13, 2007
Abigail Marshall clearly and concisely guides parents through the LD maze. This book addresses all aspects of dyslexia, the various methods for teaching dyslexics...how and why they work, or don't...All the things a parent wished their IEP team had told them, but didn't.
For any parent reeling from a meeting with educators, this is a must read!

A Must for Parents Who Suspect Their Child is Dyslexic May 29, 2005
This book outlines valuable information that I have not found in other L.D. handbooks (such as the advantages of Omega 3 fish supplements in your child's diet), yet it's a quick read. If one is to buy only one book on L.D./dyslexia, buy this book.

THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL BOOK! Mar 14, 2005
There was nothing in this book that I
wasn't satisfied with. Your book is wonderful! I really mean that.
It was very informative,insightful,helpful,and most of all - it
helped me easily identify with it. After all, I am Dyslexic. I have
always been Dyslexic,and I will always will be Dyslexic. I felt like
I was reading all about myself in your book. I am glad that you
pointed out that Dyslexics can be able to sound out words and spell
well but they often have problems with nonsense words and also
comprehension. I also liked that you mentioned the possibility that
Dyslexic symptoms can lead to misdiagnosis of disorders like ADD. I
don't even know if I have inattentive type ADHD that I was diagnosed
last year at the age of 32 years old. My Dyslexic symptoms can
easily can account for the inattentive type ADHD. I have been paying
more attention to how I write. I noticed that when I was beginning
to write the word, diaphragm, I wrote a b instead of a d. I have
read ground as brounds and an as no. It's like my Dyslexia hasn't
really gone away.
I took the Nelson Denny reading test when I got assessed for
learning disability. I scored 49th percentile on the reading
comprehension, but there were things on that test that I have read
about in the past. There were things on Carl Jung and Homer. Carl
Jung's psychology is something that really interests me. He believed
in the metaphysical and was seen as a mystic. I knew about Homer. I
read the Iliad as a kid. I loved reading about the Trojan War. I
just loved mythology because it was great for my unharnessed
imagination which you noted in people labeled ADD. I was like the
posterboy for ADD. If there were no things on that test that I never
read before, I would have scored well below the 30th percentile,and
I would have qualified as having a reading disorder. I was never
given a nonsense word reading test which is used to measure decoding
ability and diagose Dyslexia. The psychologist told me that I didn't
have Dyslexia. I had most of the symptoms of Dyslexia as a child.
Maybe I did have problems with reversing letters as a child. It's
hard for me to remember. 3 years of special education could have
helped correct my Dyslexia.
I really enjoyed reading your book. You've helped me realize that I
am Dyslexic. There is no doubt in my mind that I am Dyslexic. I know
that my children will be Dyslexic if their mother happens to be
Dyslexic like me. I will do whatever I can to get their Dyslexia
treated. They will be given the help,tools,love,and care to help
them succeed in life. I feel that this was something that I never
really had when I was a child. I blame nobody for that. I was held
back a year because of immaturity which you noted could happen to
kids with Dyslexia. I did feel more stupid because of that. My
mother didn't know anybody. She didn't know that I was Dyslexic. She
even called me "retard" when I was in 1st grade. Later on, she told
me that I was lazy and irresponsible when I was in mainstream
education. The fact is that she never went to high school. She had
many of the symptoms of Dyslexia. If she had known about her
Dyslexia,then she would have understood me much better. She would
have understood my father who also had symptoms of Dyslexia.
Thank you very much for this book. It was the book that I needed the
most. It was more effective than any self help book. I have been
involved in psychotherapy,and it did nothing for me. It didn't
address my Dyslexic symptoms. They didn't know that I am Dyslexic
neither did I. It was a social worker who mentioned Dyslexia when I
talked about being in special ed for speech problems. That was in
1997. Learning about Dyslexia and Dyspraxia has helped me understand
that I am not retarded,stupid,lazy,nor crazy. I will keep this in
mind when my children has the same problems as me. After all, I will
easily understand them because I have been through it too. Your book
will always help me understand that.
Sincerely,
Raymond Andrews
