Advice on parenting

The first completely comprehensive, practical guide for recognizing, diagnosing,

and overcoming any childhood reading difficulty.

According to the National Institute

of Health, ten million of our nation's children (approximately 17 percent) have trouble

learning to read. While headlines warn about the nation's reading crisis, Susan Hall

(whose son was diagnosed with dyslexia) and Louisa Moats have become crusaders for

action. The result of their years of research and personal experience, Parenting

a Struggling Reader provides a revolutionary road map for any parent facing this

challenging problem.

Acknowledging that parents often lose valuable years

by waiting for their school systems to test for a child's reading disability, Hall

and Moats offer a detailed, realistic program for getting parents actively involved

in their children's reading lives. With a four-step plan for identifying and resolving

deficiencies, as well as advice for those whose kids received weak instruction during

the crucial early years, this is a landmark publication that promises unprecedented

hope for the next generation of Information Age citizens.
