Product Description
This comprehensive, practical resource gives educators at all levels essential information, techniques, and tools for understanding dyslexia and adapting teaching methods in all subject areas to meet the learning style, social, and emotional needs of students who have dyslexia. Special features include over 50 full-page activity sheets that can be photocopied for immediate use and interviews with students and adults who have had personal experience with dyslexia. Organized into twenty sections, information covers everything from ten principles of instruction to teaching reading, handwriting, spelling, writing, math, everyday skills, and even covers the adult with dyslexia.
From the Back Cover
"This is a wonderful reference book for parents of children with dyslexia. It's the kind of book they've been asking for. I have been recommnending it to parents as well as teachers. The interviews with parents, students and adults with dyslexia are one of the strengths of this book. It makes the plight of dyslexic very real and gives the reader insight into their struggles. Parents can gain a sense of support and realize they are not alone in their efforts to help their child, and teachers are continually reminded of the profound effect their teaching style and their words have on students."—Heddy Christenson, Director, Eagle Mountain School
How to Reach and Teach has the best definition we found, and the first five chapters about diagnosis, special education, intervention, and principle of instruction guided us through the very stressful, and very difficult meetings with school officials. No parent of a dyslexic child should be without it. It is our "bible." We have the strategies to help our child learn reading, handwriting, spelling, writing, and math. We now understand so much about the problems with everyday skills like telling time, staying on task, inability to remember money, and keeping track of school work. Throughout this book are wonderful interviews with parents, educators, and students with dyslexia. Reading these interviews helped us see that we are not alone and that there is hope."—Angie Wilson Hood, a parent
How to Reach and Teach Children & Teens with Dyslexia provides parents and teachers with everything that's needed to help students with dyslexia flourish in school and in their everyday lives, and to prepare them for their careers.

- Present material sequentially
- Present material in small units
- Practice, practice, practice and review
- Help students organize time and space
- Individualize instruction
- Always be aware of the emotional climate

Practical strategies for dyslexia,
By "Lindina" (Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Reach and Teach Children and Teens with Dyslexia: A Parent and Teacher Guide to Helping Students of All Ages Academically, Socially, and Emotionally (Paperback)
Ms. Stowe has managed to be both concise and thorough. This book is aimed primarily at teachers of students who have dyslexia, but parents will find it extremely helpful in understanding their child's (their own!) struggles with a confusing and frustrating condition. The interviews with adolescent and adult persons diagnosed with dyslexia bring the more academic aspects of the work to life, and help the reader to identify with the information in the other sections. Unlike those in some other books on the subject, the activities presented actually seem to be as they are described on the cover, "Practical." I especially liked the suggestions for teaching writing and making writing accessible to students on differing levels (word, sentence, paragraph) who might be working within the same group. I wish I'd had this book when my son was younger! I would recommend this book to principals and teachers, to parents of kids in school and parents who homeschool, and to youth and adults who grew up with any of the difficulties described.

Very helpful,
By "flabedz" (Naperville, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How To Reach and Teach Children and Teens with Dyslexia: A Parent and Teacher Guide to Helping Students of All Ages Academically, Socially, and Emotionally (Paperback)
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.

This review is from: How To Reach and Teach Children and Teens with Dyslexia: A Parent and Teacher Guide to Helping Students of All Ages Academically, Socially, and Emotionally (Paperback)
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.
