Overcoming Dyslexia: A New and Complete Science-Based Program for Reading Problems at Any Level by Sally Shaywitz

3.0

This took me forever to get through. I had a couple issues with this book. 1. I felt like the section on helping older struggling readers was very short compared to the rest of the text. As someone who works with older students now, that left much of the text irrelvant to my needs at this time. 2. Many of the suggestions and the background on how we learn to read were things I had already learned in various trainings throughout my career, so again, no new information. The section on accommodations did give me some new insight and ideas that I hadn't thought of; however, in this case, I feel like I invested a lot of time for a little information.
People who work with younger students or who are just learning about reading disabilites, specifically dyslexia, might find more of the information helpful.
