a missed opportunity by Lorna N. Kaufman (boston, ma)  1 Stars

As a professional in the field, I know the need for a book of this type. This book is a real disappointment. There are numerous factual errors and too much unwise advise. Save your money.

Good tips, but Depressing "outlook" by Dr Pepper (USA)  2 Stars
November 11, 2007
I ordered this book after reading it at the library. I really enjoyed the easy to read format, and the tips for helping my son is what made me go ahead and order my own copy.
HOWEVER,my large complaint is this is a depressing book! It gives the negative "future" of dyslexic children as limited to careers that dont require higher education. It goes on to talk about most dyslexics are dropouts, unemployed or at dead end minimum wage jobs.
Obviously that is not true. While I'm sure many are, it is NOT the norm. Dyslexia does not limit possiblities. Yet, this book seems to focus on the negative rather that the positive that can happen with good intervention.
It's still a good book, just ignore the negative and remember that your child's future isn't limited by dyslexia.

An excellent book by grandparent (Belmont, CA United States) 5 Stars
August 25, 2006
I bought this book because the teachers think that my grandson may be dyslexic and I would recommend it to any parent or grandparenmt like myself. My daughter bought another book but we both like this one best. This book has so much practical information and the author puts it all into clear terms. My daughter and I both understand what a diagnosis entails now and we know what to expect and ask for.

Overcoming Dyslexia For Dummies by Lauren C. (Woburn, MA) 5 Stars
April 21, 2006
Overcoming Dyslexia for Dummies is a tremendously valuable resource. I ordered this book because I was struggling to help one of my adult literacy students who has dyslexia. What a difference this text has made! I have applied much of the author's advice, and I have noticed a big difference in my student's academic skills and her self-esteem. Incorporating multisensory activities into learning and using several of the recommended tools for dyslexia has proved incredibly helpful.
