Books about dyslexia either hand you the key to understand your child, or leave you more confused than when you started your journey.

By the end of this episode you'll know which three books about dyslexia are worth your time, and which one to open first if your child is an older student.

As part of my Orton Gillingham certification training, I had to read at least ten books on dyslexia. A few were clinical enough to put me to sleep. Three of them are perfect for parents. In fact, one of the three named the exact situation that a reading specialist once told me could not be happening with my daughter. (Spoiler alert: schools don’t know a lot about dyslexia.)

What you'll take with you:

• Language you can use the next time someone says your child just needs more reading practice

• A framework your teen can actually see themselves in

• A way to understand the kid who reads well out loud but cannot spell for beans

• Which of the three books about dyslexia to start first, depending on your child's age

• Permission to read none of them by Friday, because sleep is a good thing
