This book is based on one person's experience. That is not a very large sample. It seems to help some people, but certainly not for the reasons the authors state. People with dyslexia have problems with language and they can be taught to read and write well if their teacher has the ability to use a systematic, structured approach. I advise against this book because it could really lead you down the wrong path. Try Shaywitz's book on dyslexia instead. It is based on science and works for ALL.
