Overcoming Dyslexia: A New and Complete Science-Based Program for Reading Problems at Any Level

Amazon.com: Books: Overcoming Dyslexia: A New and Complete Science-Based Program for Reading Problems at Any Level

Examples:

1. Use a ruler to underline text. Read the line first, then have the child read.
2. For special needs children phonics based programs work better.
3. By second grade a child should be reading fluently.
4. Read every day, even if it's quite brief.

Doesn't sound like much, but in 2-3 years of special education reading interventions it's the most concrete advice we've ever received. We've wasted about two years on visual approaches and word lists.

She provides a set of books to start with and advance with, along with tips for each.

We will be studying this book.
