I ordered this because my son is dyslexic and I decided to home school him this year. I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far what I have read has been very informative. I can't wait to finish it.
Rating: - great resource
I didn't know alot about this topic. I felt this book covered everything I needed to know in order to converse intelligently with a parent. She appreciated my research and so did my student.
Rating: - for anyone and everyone
This text is a complete eye-opener! In my SPED coursework, no other text comes anywhere close to Stowe as far as clearing up my understanding of learning "dis" abilities and how we all have a prejudiced view of what a brain is "supposed" to act like. Excellent resource!
Rating: - Great Book for Professionals
Thought this book was very indepth. The work pages for students and teachers seemed like great tools. This book needs to be on the shelf of every reading professional. It can help them explain and re-explain tests to parents and the student. The work pages are great for students of all differing abilities.
Rating: - Very helpful
As a former special education teacher, I am sometimes too aware of little problems. I know my child's self-esteem is affected by this problem however, and this book is very helpful for being me to work with her at home, especially since teachers don't seem to think there is a problem. This book, along with "The Gift of Dyslexia" brought so much practical, usefel information. I took this book out from the library, and will buy it, to use for a longer duration at home.
