''This book documents simultaneously the challenges of becoming literate for those with dyslexia, and the various routes by which those challenges can be met and overcome. It draws lessons that can be used to improve literacy outcomes for a wide array of struggling readers, including many whose struggles do not derive from learning disabilities.'' --- Catherine E.
