by Cheri Rae (Author), Liz Taylor (Illustrator), Peggy Stern (Foreword by)

In this field guide, parents will find the help they need to navigate the tricky territory of DyslexiaLand with proven strategies, easy-to-follow directions and maps. When parents are well informed about dyslexia, empowered to advocate strongly for their children, and determined to get what they need, the long journey with a dyslexic child through the public school system can be a rewarding one. Really

DyslexiaLand is an imaginary place, but a very real one for the 1 in 5 students with dyslexia. Especially in school, where these otherwise bright children struggle unnecessarily, and parents don't understand why. With expert dyslexia advocate Cheri Rae as your guide, you'll discover:

- How to identify your child strengths and challenges, meet with teachers, and to effectively advocate for your child.

- Which reading approaches work for students with dyslexia, and which ones don't, and why the "D" word is such a hot-button issue.

- How to turn obstacles into opportunities, stresses into successes, and how high tech can be a huge help.

DyslexiaLand takes the guesswork out of dealing with dyslexia. Whether your child is beginning pre-K or in the middle of high school, there is help here for all dyslexic kids and their parents.
