Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Although many books and papers refer to the case histories of Hinshelwood (1900) and Morgan (1896) describing word-blind children and the recognition of acquired dyslexias from the beginning of the century, it was not really until the 1970s that dyslexia has been recognized as a specific learning difficulty in this country. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative!, 25 Sep 2009

(REAL NAME)   
I found this book to be a great read. Michael Thomson gives his viewpoints on dyslexia from a teacher's point of view and everything is backed up by several studies carried out on dyslexia. This book is indeed very accessible and the book flows in a very clear and straight-to-the-point manner.
