This book is full of information, starting with explaining how one learns to read using phonemes. Then it takes you through the third grade and what is expected of older children in regards to reading.
It clearly shows you the difference between a person with dyslexia and one who doesn't. Great Book!

This book is an excellent resource for both parents and educators. It was recommended to me by a private tutor for students with dyslexia and I found it extremely helpful. The information is provided in a way that is reader friendly and suggestions are given for parents working with their children and teachers working with students. I would definitely recommend this book as a resource!
