This dyslexia book uses the dyslexic gifts of pattern recognition and complex thinking, rather than dwelling on the dyslexic weakness in phonemic awareness.

Yvonna Graham (BA Psychology, MA Special Education) brings over 30 years of tutoring experience to this book. Her daughter and co-author, Dr. Alta E. Graham, (D.A. Music, MS Computer Science) was pronounced “uneducable” by her first-grade teacher. The counselor thought Alta could learn to wipe tables with special training. Neither prediction was correct. Alta was a music professor and academic tutor before switching careers to work in orbital dynamics.

This expanded edition includes 3 added chapters: phonics (what to do and not do), music training (how it affects long-term outcomes in reading), and Speech-to-Text technology as a dyslexia tool. There’s a section in which the authors answer questions from readers of the first edition.

Dyslexia doesn't have to feel like chains; it can be wings instead! Let your dyslexic students soar!

About the Author

"At the end of first grade I couldn't write my name. I couldn't read the alphabet. The school counselor said I was 'uneducable' due to extreme dyslexia and dysgraphia, but could be taught to wipe tables with 12 years of training. She recommended a special school for children who could not be mainstreamed. I spent a lot of time under desks and tables trying to hide from the world." -- Dr. Alta Graham, consultingcomposer.com
