Format:Kindle Edition
My 8 yr old daughter has just been diagnosed so this is a very good starting point to go through all the options available. Presented in a non biased way It provides some information on the different types of dyslexia your child may have and therefore where to go from here. Excellent list of resources/websites at the back of the book. Quite empowering, encourages a proactive approach.
Format:Paperback
I am a specialist dyslexia teacher and I have been looking for a book to recommend to the parents of my students. However, this is not it. This book does give some very good information on dyslexia. However, it lets itself down by not taking its own advice. On the one hand it advises parents under a heading: Beware of Overstated Claims, to be "sceptical of programs that claim to 'scientically proven' or to 'cure' dyslexia.' Yet it goes on to give glowing recommendations to such programmes as Irlen lenses, Brain Gym and Davis Dyslexia Correction and others which have either no research suggesting that they are beneficial for dyslexia or the research these programmes do present is non-independent, unsound or overstated.
Luckily the chapter before that one lists the programmes that do work (and have sound evidence to back them up). The programmes that do work are phonic based such as those based upon the original Orton-Gillingham method.
