Product Description
From Library Journal
Through the Irlen Method, certain adults and children with chronic learning problems can improve their reading abilities, according to a study by Irlen, an educational psychologist. Her treatment employs a series of colored overlays and lenses which remove certain obstacles from the reading process, thereby permitting those who suffer from Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (SSS) to improve or eliminate their sight-reading problems. Irlen's book is the first to describe, in lay terms, what the treatment consists of, how it works, and what its limitations are. She includes a color-keyed self-test, as well as a list of clinics which offer SSS screening and treatment. Her book is recommended for all types of libraries.

I was looking for help for my child when I stumbled upon the Irlen method. Not only has it helped my child but also myself and husband. Such a simple solution to a peice of our son's puzzle. THANKS HELEN IRLEN

Hope for the hopeless.,

This review is from: Reading By Colors (Mass Market Paperback)
For 22 years I taught special education and told parents I had no answers to their child's learning difficulties. Then I discovered the methods outlined in Reading By the Colors. The method worked for me and some of the 500 people I have screened. There is always hope.

Great resource,
By Leslie (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reading by the Colors (Paperback)
As a special education teacher I have worked with hundreds of students with reading and learning disabilities. Many of my students have been helped with the colored overlays and gone on to have their lenses tinted. This book outlines a treatable visual perceptual disorder which is so often overlooked. It may not be the only reason a student has reading difficulties, but for many students using the overlays can have a significant improvement on their reading.
