Book Reviews of Overcoming Dyslexia: A New and Complete Science-Based Program for Reading Problems at Any Level
Book Review: If only I had been told of this book years ago...
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is powerful. If I had known about this book years ago maybe my son would be a reader by now and would not have had to go to a literacy center! This book give a lot of useful information, plans, strategies. Things that I have never had for my son. Nor have I understood what was going on in this head. This book is not only important for parents to read, educators should also read it!
