5 - Overcoming Dyslexia by Dr. Sally Shaywitz
This book offers new facts and new hope about how every young child can become a better reader.
When a child struggles with reading, life can be hard. The ability, or inability, to read directly affects every aspect of her life, including her self-esteem. Unfortunately, almost 40 percent of 4th grade students in the United States read below grade level, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The large number of struggling readers is due in part to the fact that reading problems - namely dyslexia , which affects 10 million children nationwide - often go undiagnosed until children are well into elementary school, when it's much more difficult to address them.
