Good tips, but Depressing "outlook", Nov 11 2007
By Dr Pepper "Loves to read" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overcoming Dyslexia For Dummies (Paperback)
I ordered this book after reading it at the library. I really enjoyed the easy to read format, and the tips for helping my son is what made me go ahead and order my own copy.HOWEVER,my large complaint is this is a depressing book! It gives the negative "future" of dyslexic children as limited to careers that dont require higher education. It goes on to talk about most dyslexics are dropouts, unemployed or at dead end minimum wage jobs.
Obviously that is not true. While I'm sure many are, it is NOT the norm. Dyslexia does not limit possiblities. Yet, this book seems to focus on the negative rather that the positive that can happen with good intervention.
It's still a good book, just ignore the negative and remember that your child's future isn't limited by dyslexia.

Overcoming Dyslexia For Dummies, April 21 2006
By Lauren C. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overcoming Dyslexia For Dummies (Paperback)
Overcoming Dyslexia for Dummies is a tremendously valuable resource. I ordered this book because I was struggling to help one of my adult literacy students who has dyslexia. What a difference this text has made! I have applied much of the author's advice, and I have noticed a big difference in my student's academic skills and her self-esteem. Incorporating multisensory activities into learning and using several of the recommended tools for dyslexia has proved incredibly helpful.

An excellent book, Aug 25 2006
By grandparent - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overcoming Dyslexia For Dummies (Paperback)
I bought this book because the teachers think that my grandson may be dyslexic and I would recommend it to any parent or grandparent like myself. My daughter bought another book but we both like this one best. This book has so much practical information and the author puts it all into clear terms. My daughter and I both understand what a diagnosis entails now and we know what to expect and ask for. I couldn't help noticing, with a chuckle, that the "expert" who gave this book one star could herself use a spelling lesson!
