This book does not address the essense of dyslexia only rules of reading
Rating:
In just reviewing this book, the very first sentence of chapter one is troubling. It assumes that the child can recognize all the letters of the alphabet and their sounds.
The very essesnce of dyslexia is that children do not easily recognize letters (concept imagery) and/or they cannot distinquish the cooresponding sounds of each letter in isolation (phonemic awareness).
This book is NOT designed for dylsexics at all. It is designed to teach poeple to read.
It DOES have important rules that ALL readers need to learn in order to read properly but those rules cannot be applied until a dyslexic child had had intensive intervention to develop phonemic awareness and concpt imagey.
Parents who but this hoping to "cure" their dyslexic child will be very dissapointed.
Excellent Workbook
Rating:
This workbook has been a life saver for me and my son. He is an 11yo boy with dyslexia. I have found this book to be extremely helpful. I appreciate the way it is laid out step by step. Each step building upon the last. Review is crucial for us and I give him plenty of that, using index cards and just reviewing the previous lessons. I highly recommend this workbook for a dyslexic student. Also by the same is author is a multiplication book for dyslexic/visual learners. That has also helped tremendously. Again I believe this book has provided me with the necessary tools to help my son. Thanks
Great resource for anyone teaching reading
Rating:
A Workbook for Dyslexics is a great resource for people who are teaching reading. We teach reading to adults and find this invaluable as it has everything you need in one place. We also use it for teaching ESL and it is just as useful there.
Looking forward

I have not put it to use yet, but I'm looking forward to using this book. I've seen many books about dyslexia, but this is the only one I found that works on a solution to the problem. I hope that it can help to improve reading and spelling. It is very thorough and helpful.
AMAZING Book!!

This book is AMAZING!!! It is practical, efficient, easy-to-use, and best of all EFFECTIVE!!! This book is a rare find because it is all about actual teaching lessons! This book is for parents/teachers who want to dive right in and start teaching to help kids learn to read immediately!! My daughter's reading improved more by using this book than with any other tool we've used! The book is economical and simple, yet the results are worth their weight in gold! Buy this book and you won't be disappointed!!
