Reviews

[Patty Bernstein]

Good read for students who are interested in Dyslexia. Really liked the list of famous people who have Dyslexia as well as the message that people who have Dyslexia, while they struggle in school, they are not stupid.

A good basic overview of dyslexia. I read this to my son John (8 years) and he liked parts of it, other parts weren't as interesting to him. (Structures if the brain, etc.)
