Finding this book was such a gift!! There aren't nearly as many resources for dyslexic math as there are for reading and writing. I was so frustrated trying to help my daughter w/her math--the basic concepts are so simple (for me) that I didn't know how to break it down any further to explain it to her. This book details why dyslexics don't "see" math ideas like non-dyslexics do, and how other dyslexics have been helped to grasp math concepts. For instance, my daughter has told me that she finds division easier than the other three main math concepts (addition, subtraction, multiplication) which I thought was unusual. This book explained that that's true for dyslexics because it is the only one of the four that begins computations on the left! Six different authors contributed to this book, most of whom are college professors and all of whom have taught and studied dyslexics for years. The writing is sometimes a bit dry--scholarly--but I found it fascinating and so very helpful.
This is a compilation of research that is applicable and practical. It not only gives insight into how students with dyslexia deal with numbers and math concepts, but it give ideas and solutions on how to support them. I checked it out from my library, but look forward to owning it very soon! I am a learning specialist who works with students with dyslexia. I would highly recommend this for anyone working with students with dyslexia.
I gave this book to my daughter's special ed teacher to help with her math skills. She said it offers so many good ideas and she is very happy to have it! If it is able to help, not only my kid, but others, then it is worth every penny!
I like the advice. It could be more dyslexic friendly by not having such a small font. Please do not judge this book by the first chapter, it gets less technical and more helpful as you read along. I received a score at the bottom 17 percent on the GMAT so I am reading this and going over the basics again with another book before I take the GMAT again
I thought this might help me reach my daughter math. That is not what it is for.
There is very good book to help teachers and parents. The secret is to get teachers to read it.
