Title: The Bible for Dyslexic and their families
Review: Words Aren't FairBy Martha J. BierySally Shaywitz's book is my bible, literally. I test children with reading disorders and as most of them have varying degrees of dyslexia, this book has saved me hundreds of hours of explanation with these children's parents. I ask the parents to read my report and then buy the book and meet with me after they read it. This book is a blessing!In my meetings, I specifically address why their child is having difficulty storing words in long term memory and I refer to Sally's explanation. This helps the parents understand the need for a sequential, phonics-based reading program for their child. Just knowing that their child is not learning because he/she doesn't process sounds effectively gives the parents hope that their child will "get it" with the right intervention. Additionally, I love that Sally has put in a chapter about how a child can become his/her own advocate.
