Rezensionen

Praise for Is It Dyslexia?

"It's rare to find someone with the knowledge and experience to simplify the science of reading so anyone, regardless of their background, can help their child succeed. And yet, by creating a book that is as practical as it is thorough, April helps us to not only recognize the signs of dyslexia: she shows us what to do about it."

--Spencer Russell, Toddlers Can Read

"As a pediatrician, I see that dyslexia is a widespread, often misdiagnosed problem, causing considerable anguish to children and parents, when not diagnosed and managed early in life. Also, as a mom with two kids, I feel that this book clarifies so much about this condition and would be an asset to both parents and

practitioners alike."

--Pamela Britto-Williams, MD, FAAP, FAAAAI, CHCQM
