About This Book

This book describes this learning disorder, and discusses diagnosing dyslexia and getting help.

Our Review

This accessible guide demystifies dyslexia for young readers, explaining how this common learning difference affects reading and writing in clear, age-appropriate language. It thoughtfully walks children through what a diagnosis means and introduces various strategies and tools that can help them succeed in the classroom. The book empowers kids by framing dyslexia not as a disability, but as a different way of thinking and learning, which is a profoundly reassuring approach for a child struggling with literacy skills.

What sets this health guide apart is its compassionate, solution-focused tone that directly addresses a child's experience and concerns. It provides practical advice for navigating schoolwork and builds self-advocacy by explaining how to ask for the specific help they need. Parents and children will find this an invaluable resource for fostering understanding, resilience, and a positive self-image, making the challenges of a learning difference feel manageable and far less isolating.
