A Dyslexic Reading about Dyslexia

I am a 20 year-old Dyslexic currently going to school to become a Special Education teacher with am emphasis on Learning Disablilites. I recently had to do a paper and presentation on Dyslexia and came across this book in my college's library. I found this book very interesting and full of helpful information, and the best thing about it was i could understand everything the author was saying. I highly reccomend it to any parent, teacher, or Dyslexic to read.

Informative !

As a mother of a 10 yr old newly diagnosed dyslexic , I found this book informative and easy to read. I particulary like the sections on visual and auditory dyslexia.So much of it decribes our son.The only part that I found the author over emphasized is the fact that kids are often misdiagnosed.Every chapter had that in it,which is important but in my case we already knew my son has dyslexia.I also thought it could have contained more information on symptoms and various testing information for evaluation of dyslexia.but overall I enjoyed the book very much.Its worth buying.
