Help your child succeed in the classroom--and in life!
As a parent of a child with dyslexia you may wonder what you should expect as your child goes through life. How can you help your child deal with school and succeed? It's true, there are challenges for children with dyslexia, but when identified early, they can be overcome successfully. Abigail Marshall , manager of dyslexia.com , shows you how
The Everything Parent's Guide to Children with Dyslexia, 2nd Edition is your first step in facing the challenges of dyslexia with a positive attitude.
As a parent, I found this to be an immensely helpful book. It is well laid-out and contains a comprehensive amount of information. It is largely aimed at families at the pre-diagnosis / just received staged. It covers information on different forms of dyslexia (including early warning signs) and other developmental / learning disorders that could be co-presenting (or which could have similar presentations). I would definitely recommend it as a starting point.
Great book, a lot of good information, and very interesting to me to realize all the ways my dyslexia affects me even now. My daughter and I are both mildly dyslexic, my mother moderate, so it's interesting seeing the range of affects. My daughter is 13, received speech therapy for 4 years, and is very creative. She doesn't receive assistance now but online school has been a real struggle. This book came at a good time for me to help her work through some issues.
This book was full of helpful resources and information. It gave ideas for reading, spelling, and math. It also gave helpful advice for elementary, middle school, and high school. I learned a lot. Some information was the same as other books, but some was definitely new and helpful.
