Review: Not really about  overcoming Dyslexia--high level overview of parenting a child with dyslexia
Rating: 3 out of 5

The book is a high-level overview of dyslexia and it provides high level encouragement for parents. It's an easy read, so if you just want a high level summary of how to cope with dyslexia the book isn't a bad book. However,  it will not tell you how to overcome dyslexia and doesn't really give any details about how to deal with the many challenges you'll face in raising a child with dyslexia.It's clear a child with dyslexia faces many challenges, but the book says a couple of times that a child with dyslexia can "easily" overcome the challenges. That is not the case--overcoming dyslexia requires a lot of diligent work.My overall impression is that this book was written to get sales based upon a popular topic, but that the author does not seem to have any first-hand experience with overcoming dyslexia, and maybe not with dyslexia at all.  If you're looking for information on how to truly OVERCOME dyslexia, look elsewhere.
