Excellent guide to dyslexia, very clear and well written

This was my "first stop" book on dyslexia from my local library, and it was a good choice. I know this book is dated (copyright date 1984), but even so, I learned a lot about dyslexia, and although they may have a bit more information available today about how the brain works, the symptoms are the same now as they were twenty years ago (some things don't change), and Dr. Hornsby has done a very good job explaining exactly what dyslexia is. This is a clear and simply but beautifully written book - exactly what I needed to get a good feel of what dyslexia is. She describes her method of overcoming dyslexia very loosely in this book, and alludes to another book where her method is more clearly outlined - as they are both out of print I will probably look for a more advanced method, or a reading specialist, to actually help my child overcome his problem. But when you are not sure where to start, and what you are dealing with, this book was an invaluable aid.
