Product Description
Book Description
Offers optimistic and practical advice for the parents and teachers of dyslexic children.
Product Description
Dyslexia is a common diagnosable condition that is estimated to affect at least one child in ten. In its most usual form it is manifested as a difficulty in learning to read and write, but it is widely misunderstood and often mistaken for low intelligence or even laziness.
Dr Beve Hornsby combines her experience as a psychologist, teacher and speech therapist in this informative and reassuring book for parents and teachers of children suffering from a disability no-one can see or understand, and offers advice on how to identify, tackle and eventually overcome dyslexia. Includes up-to-date information on Attention Deficit Disorder and the relevance of the latest Education Act.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent book to take you through all the stages,
By A Customer
This review is from: Overcoming Dyslexia: A Straightforward Guide for Families and Teachers (Paperback)
This is a great book which works through all the stages from recognising dyslexia to types of treatment, help from professionals, ideas to try, Really good value for money. It is easy to read (I'm dyslexic myself) and I always reach for it when I have had a battle at school over my daugther's problems. Worth buying for a teacher who does not understand the whole implications dyslexia can create.

3.0 out of 5 stars
very instructive and informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Overcoming Dyslexia: A Straightforward Guide for Families and Teachers (Paperback)
At last I can understand what dyslexia is all about. I received detailed information in an easy to comprehend format, written for the lay person to understand. It takes the reader through the array of types of dyslexia, and gives some indication about possible teaching and therapy which may help. Unfortunately the information which I wanted (about adults with dyslexia) wasn't available, I have just found that my friend is dyslexic and wanted help and advice.Most of the information is geared around children, but you can not treat an adult the same as you would a child, so my search for appropriate information continues. However, I am pleased that I have gained a better knowledge of the condition, and at least have a good grounding to continue my"research"

This review is from: Overcoming Dyslexia: A Straightforward Guide for Families and Teachers (Paperback)
A great book to read for a better understanding of the issues surrounding dyslexia. It is easy to read, and understand. It offers practical advice, and help. I would probably have to say that as more is being discovered about the causes of dyslexia, and the complexities of dyslexia - this book is basic, and should be read along with more up-to-date books.
