I appreciate the author getting all viewpoints from the perspective of living with dyslexia. It's very insightful on thoughts and feelings of siblings of dyslexics. I would definitely recommend this book to families dealing with the challenges and struggles that goes along with dyslexia. It's nice to know you are not alone.

Great Text about Real People! by N. Carrillo (Modesto, Ca United States)  5 Stars
February 10, 2008
This text is really a story book about peoples lives with learning disabilities (LD) in reading (dyslexia). The stories are powerful and many will bring you to tears. I work with the population and am in my second Master's in LD and read this book as part of a class. I wish I would have had the time to read it more slowly. If you. or someone you know, has a reading disability, or LD, pick up this book. The interviews are with real people and if only one story touches or helps you it will be worth the read!

The Human Side of Dyslexia by Louise Janus (Anaheim, CA) 5 Stars
November 09, 2006
This is an excellent book for any person who works with students! The book takes you through a "journey" with real people who have dyslexia and gives the reader great insight into the many struggles persons with dyslexia and their families have experienced. In addition, there is practical information that suggests ways of coping with dyslexia (at every grade level), and resources for assistance are also provided. The book is written in "everyday" language that is easy to understand--a great read!

The Human Side is the Right Side 5 Stars
March 06, 2002
As a high school teacher, I have found Kurnoff's book to provide both guidance and comfort. The interviews speak to the many particular issues faced by families looking for answers and direction. The very positive tone of the book leaves the reader with a sense of empowerment. I have suggested this book to colleagues and parents and they all share my enthusiasm and appreciation.
