   Summary: This is a Must for any parent who has a Dyslexic child!
This book was the most complete book I have ever found on the subject of Dyslexia. It was very enlightening for me as the mom of 3 Dyslexic children to understand the scientific facts as well as be given an abundance of helpful strategies in dealing with the learning difficulties for Dyslexic people. A true MUST HAVE for anyone searching for help in understanding Dyslexia.

   Summary: Overcoming Dyslexia
This is one book that I would encourage all teachers and parents interested in the learning-to-read process to read. I always like to read one professional book over the summer, and this was the most important professional book I've ever read. It's not just about overcoming dyslexia; it's about how to teach reading with success to all students. It helped me understand brain development in terms of learning to read. It contains research and also explains the components of any really good reading program. It's an interesting, well-written, easy to understand book, one that I would recommend to every teacher and interested parent.

   Summary: Great book
This is what parents need in a time when school wont help and you feel helpless. I am lucky to have found this book. It should be given to every school. I am fighting a losing battle trying to get our school to understand Dyslexia. If you are someone just starting on this road buy this book. It has everything you need to know to help yourself of your child. It is a must have for me. Open my eyes to my daughters world what a blessing that is.

   Summary: Saving Grace
This book was recommended to me by the evaluation team that worked with my son. It is an unparalleled resource for all people dealing with dyslexia. From kindergartners to adults. You will find contact information for agencies, program suggestion, and essential hints on what to ask schools for. It was such a great resource I bought a second copy for my son's "resource team" at school.
