The foremost authority on the subject by Joy Martinez (Dallas, TX, USA) 5 Stars
September 09, 2009
I starting reading several books on the subject of dyslexia to build a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by my son and to develop stategies to help him. Every book went back to quoting from the research of Dr. Sally Shaywitz. I decided to put the rest down and read the book based on her work. Though this book is not light reading for the average parent, it is information that every teacher should be familiar with.

Helpful Scientific Basis by Special Ed Mama (Pittsfield, MA) 5 Stars
August 07, 2009
A wonderful book whose basis on brain imaging confirms what many good reading teachers have known all along--teaching phonemes and using a multisensory approach is necessary. Her case studies were very encouraging, as were the examples of problems encountered and methods used with older students.
