From one of the world's pre-eminent experts on reading and dyslexia, the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and practical book available on identifying, understanding, and overcoming reading problems - now revised to reflect the latest research and evidence-based approaches.
One in five children has trouble reading. But they are not stupid or lazy - in fact, dyslexia is the most common learning disorder on the planet.

This new edition offers:

-The very latest insights into diagnosing dyslexia; choosing schools and colleges for dyslexic students; the co-implications of anxiety, ADHD, and dyslexia; and dyslexia in post-menopausal women
-Extensively updated information on helping both dyslexic children and adults become better readers, with a detailed nightly home program to enhance reading
-Exercises to help children strengthen the brain areas that control reading
-The 150 most common problem words-a list that can give your child a head start
-Stories of successful men, women, and young adults who are dyslexic
Acclaimed by experts and parents alike, Overcoming Dyslexia provides anyone who is struggling with reading problems with the necessary reassurance that, through hard work and the right help, such difficulties can be overcome.
