Description
Dyslexia affects roughly 10 to 20 percent of the population. It is well known that students of all ages struggle with reading skills. What is not well known is the fact many of these individuals possess amazing gifts and talents in other areas. In school, they may face the embarrassment and fear of being called on to read aloud or the frustration of being the last to complete their assignments. Unfortunately, their strengths (perhaps an exceptional vocabulary, advanced knowledge in science, fine musical talent, or numerous other superb abilities) may go unrecognized or under-appreciated in their classrooms. More knowledge and understanding on the part of teachers and parents can allow these students to be identified, to become more successful academically, and to see themselves as the capable individuals they are. Dr. Karen Nathan brings her experiences as a teacher, mother, researcher, professor, and classroom volunteer to Dyslexia with Gifts and Talents. This unique book powerfully and effectively combines specific factual information, personal autobiography, numerous first-person accounts of others, and practical help for parents, teachers, and students. Much of Dyslexia with Gifts and Talents is written with a mother's perspective, through an earnest eye that works to recapture the journey traveled with her son.
