Product Description
This new edition of READING BY THE COLORS includes significant breakthroughs and new applications for use with the Irlen Method to aid in the treatment of reading disabilities. If you your child or someone you know has a reading disability there may be a quick and effective solution to this all-too-common problem. Educational psychologist Helen Irlen has developed a revolutionary new technique that can improve or entirely alleviate reading difficulties for approximately one out of every five people who are affected by such a problem. Ten years ago Helen Irlen was studying methods to help adults with chronic learning disorders. She noticed that certain adults showed marked improvement in their reading abilities when a transparent coloured acetate sheet covered their reading material. For the next five years Irlen worked on and refined her discovery; developing and patenting a series of coloured lenses that when worn by people who suffered from Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (SSS) either improved or eliminated sight-reading problems. READING BY THE COLORS is the first book to explain in easy to understand language just what the Irlen method is what it can do to improve reading skills and what it cannot do. It also includes a colour-keyed self-test. For millions of children and adults who suffer from dyslexia and other related reading problems READING BY THE COLORS may provide the first glimpse of a permanent solution.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this book to get some further information after I was diagnosed with scotopic sensitivity syndrome (Irlen syndrome). As a first point of call for information this is very good, however, having already trawled through the web for information, this didn't tell me anything new.
What is particularly useful is the fact that a number of pages are printed on a range of colours, so that readers can discover which colour will improve the "readability" of text best for them.

We have been trying to get my son help with his Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome for some 2 years, but at every turn felt we were fighting a battle. This book was an amazing help in understanding what is happening and how to help anyone with this disability.

Irlen Lenses Helped Our Family
5 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
Reading By the Colors and the Irlen Method of using colored lenses to help visual distortions has changed our lives. After visiting a pediatrition, allergy specialist, optometrist,opthomologist, and getting a CAT scan, my niece finally received the Irlen lenses and can now see without having words slide off the page. She also can concentrate on her reading and was able to discontinue her Ritalin for a supposed condition of ADD. Also, I received the Irlen lenses and can now see the words on the page that previously were overtaken by the white background. I can also now see depth perception in scenery and can enjoy the colors of flowers, trees, and clouds...I can really see the silver linings! Night driving is also much easier! This book really helped me understand why I sometimes would see things differently, or why I would not read as fluently as I would like to. It helped me understand why I had to study so much longer than others. Even though I have two college degrees, it was a struggle! This book is a must for teachers! I am an elementary teacher and plan to tell everyone about it!
