Dyslexia (Gift of)

New, enlarged edition of a breakthrough book that gives dyslexics the key to literacy. Here at last is a book that brings real help to people who have dyslexia, a disorder that inhibits the reading and writing ability of nearly fifteen per cent of all children and adults. Dyslexic children lose out under the educational system, unable to keep pace with their classmates, and may even be hived off into schools for children with learning disabilities. Written by a dyslexic who by his own efforts discoverd how to overcome the barrier to reading, this book sets out the practical step-by-step techniques, using visualisation and multisensory learning, which helped him to read and have since helped more than a thousand dyslexic children and adults. More than that - for the first time the experience of being dyslexic is fully explained, from its early development to its gradual entrenchment as a child comes to rely on non-verbal perception. Dyslexics will instantly identify with the author's descriptions of confusion and disorientation, and will recognise the 'trigger' words that make comprehension difficult. These revelations should be read by all teachers, educational psychologists and parents. For this second edition the book has been substantially revised and enlarged in the light of continuing research, with three new chapters and much additional material throughout, including many new photographs. It all adds to the value of a book that places dyslexia in its true context - as a disorder of perception - and marks a turning point in the teaching of reading.
