When my son was diagnosed with dyslexia, the psychologist recommended a book to to help me better understand what we were dealing with. As we went over the diagnosis, she referred to this book several times. I knew it must have some good information. I went out and bought it the next day.
From that day forward, this has been the most helpful book I have ever read. I told everyone I came in contact about Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz. My son's teacher read it and said "Why have I not known about this book!"
Reading this book was like opening my son's brain and letting me in. I learned that so many of his daily characteristics were connected to his dyslexia. Things were finally making sense to me!! Most importantly to me, this book was written by a professional woman with the science of brain scans and research groups to back up her information.
I highly recommend that everyone reads this book, but especially if you or someone close to you may be dealing with dyslexia. It can be found on amazon here:
