I teach reading to high school students with a wide range of disabilities, including dyslexia. The title is misleading -- there is very little new information for middle through high school teachers. If you teach first through fourth grades, and don't have much experience with reading disabilities, you might find some good advice, otherwise, don't bother.

I ordered this because my son is dyslexic and I decided to home school him this year. I haven't finished reading it yet, but so far what I have read has been very informative. I can't wait to finish it.

I didn't know alot about this topic. I felt this book covered everything I needed to know in order to converse intelligently with a parent. She appreciated my research and so did my student.

This text is a complete eye-opener! In my SPED coursework, no other text comes anywhere close to Stowe as far as clearing up my understanding of learning "dis" abilities and how we all have a prejudiced view of what a brain is "supposed" to act like. Excellent resource!
