There were a number of red flags that the school “reading specialist” continued to overlook.

Instead, she said he needed to work harder, which about the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard. This kid was working HARD! She just wasn’t providing him the tools to help him learn how to read in the way that his brain wanted to read.
DYSLEXIA BOOKS FOR PARENTS
This book contains the latest information about reading problems and proven, practical techniques that, along with hard work and the right help, can enable anyone to overcome them.
Here are the tools that parents and teachers need to help the dyslexic child, age by age, grade by grade, step by step.
Blending personal stories with hard science, The Dyslexic Advantage provides invaluable advice on how parents, educators, and individuals with dyslexia can recognize and use the strengths of the dyslexic learning style in: material reasoning (used by architects and engineers); interconnected reasoning (scientists and designers), narrative reasoning (novelists and lawyers); and dynamic reasoning (economists and entrepreneurs.)
While other books tell you what dyslexia is, this book tells you what to do.
Dyslexics’ innate skills, which may include verbal, social, spatial, kinesthetic, visual, mathematical, or musical abilities, are their unique key to acquiring knowledge.
Figuring out where their individual strengths lie, and then harnessing these skills, offers an entrée into learning and excelling.
By keeping the focus on learning, not on standard reading the same way everyone else does, a child with dyslexia can and will develop the self-confidence to flourish in the classroom and beyond.
This book outlines a unique and revolutionary program with a phenomenally high success rate in helping dyslexics learn to read and to overcome other difficulties associated with it.
This new edition is expanded to include new teaching techniques and revised throughout with up-to-date information on research, studies, and contacts.

It offers simple, intelligible help for parents on how to coordinate successfully with their child’s school and achieve the right services and support for their dyslexic child; up to and beyond getting an effective Individual Education Plan (IEP).

Great tools & resources (and all in one spot)! I’ve never been more frustrated than when trying to get reading help for my pre-teen. She’s in a special education class, and we were told as such she was not eligible for a reading specialist. Not sure about THAT logic – but once we got specialized help (via several lost months and an atty) her reading is improving slowly but surely.
