Synopsis

Every dyslexic child can learn to read, write, and spell--thanks to this one-on-one, easy-to-use, instructional book, which is broken down into three parts:

Part 1 --- Discusses learning disabilities. Each problem is followed by a true case study of how a child overcame thatdisability.
Part 2 -- Reveals how a dyslexic child should be taught--from kindergarten through the third grade--step by step. It also gives detailed instructions for teaching phonics, spelling, and syllabication.
Part 3 -- Contains the pictures, charts, and word lists that are an integral part of tutoring the child.

Since each dyslexic is different, the parent or teacher must carefully determine how to structure lessons in order to connect with the child. How to Teach Your Dyslexic Child to Read teaches the tutor how to discover the child's learning pace; how to lengthen a youngster's short attention span; how much drill and review is necessary once a phonics concept has been introduced; how many vocabulary words the child should be asked to learn at one time; how many pages should be assigned to daily oral reading; how many words a child can learn to spell in a week, and remember how to spell when writing sentences; and more.

Reading opens new worlds for children. But for the dyslexic child those worlds go unexplored, and not knowing how to read can be frustrating and embarrassing. With this essential guide, parents, teachers, and tutors can make a tremendous difference in a child's life.
