What experts and parents are saying about our books
"This is a comprehensive guide for parents about the reading process.
It addresses all the key elements and skills that "good readers" should possess. It talks directly
about letter sounds, sound patterns, sight words and how to keep your child on the right track.
It uses parent friendly explanations and highlights questions that are often asked about developing
readers. Well organized, it includes tips and easy-to-do activities with materials found at home."
D. Johnston
- Elementary school teacher, Milton, Ontario
"I purchased this book through Amazon to help my 6 year-old son with his
reading problems. The book is a perfect guide to teach a lay person how to help their children. All parents
have their children's best interests in mind and want to help when they are struggling, but sometimes we don't
know how to help. I don't have an education degree and had no idea how to help my son. Reading the book gives
us "dummies" somewhere to turn for help. This is a must read for anyone that has a struggling child.
My son is SPRinting his way to success!."

"I'm an aide in an elementary school and this has been a great help to me.
The charts are perfect. The suggested reading lists are right on. The kid's jokes are cute (pg. 211, 217)."

"This book is awesome!!! It is my Bible and the only tool I needed to help me
understand, find the right help and support for my daughter who was recently diagnosed with Dyslexia. I have
recommended it to all my family, friends and colleagues. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking
for help or information."

"Overcoming Dyslexia for Dummies is a tremendously valuable resource. I ordered this
book because I was struggling to help one of my adult literacy students who has dyslexia. What a difference this text
has made! I have applied much of the author's advice, and I have noticed a big difference in my student's academic
skills and her self-esteem. Incorporating multisensory activities into learning and using several of the recommended
tools for dyslexia has proved incredibly helpful."

and materials"
MaryKate Puerto - parent
"This
book is wonderfully helpful for parents who have the nagging
feeling their son isn't at the reading level of his peers, but
don't know exactly what's wrong or where to begin. I found Tracey
Wood's matter-of-fact style very comforting, and her diagnostics
and advice so enlightening I was able to pinpoint my son's difficulties
and take practical steps to help. What a relief to hear my son's
difficulties are normal and fixable!"
