Learn to Read for Kids with Dyslexia: 101 Games and Activities to Teach Your Child to Read (Phonics Makes Readers)

I have been working through loads of different ideas to try and make things easier for my son. This book is inviting because of the colours and activities. I would say you need to read each activity first so that you know what is expected before doing it together so they don't try and get out of doing it. To anyone even looking at this review, the fact you are looking to provide additional support for a person who has Dyslexia is brilliant, this book will help. Life is tough and Dyslexia makes it so much harder - but it is only a hitch :-)

This book has excellent games to play - my 7 year old (undiagnosed dyslexic) grandson hates reading but really enjoyed doing this with me Worth every penny

Bought it for someone struggling to read and engage. They have with this so far.

My 7-year-old has been trying to learn to read through the BRI system for some time, he gets really frustrated. He is autistic and seems to have issues processing and recalling words that he knows so I thought I would give this book a try. While it is too early to say if it is helping him learn to read we are having a lot of fun with it. The only problem I have, making it a 4 star instead of a 5 star, is that the spelling is American, which I didn't see in the description. To combat this I have been scanning the pages needed on my PC, and pasting a UK spelling over the American one.

I home ed my daughtet and she loves doing this book

Lots of fun reading activities for my grade 1, systematic learning, helped alot

Beautiful book and very colourful. As an educator would highly recommend it. My only criticism is that I could not use it for 12 year olds...more between 7 and 10 year olds; primary schools.

My son is about 30 pages into the book and looks forward to doing the lessons. He's in kindergarten, so in addition to school he also does 2 pages of the book 3 nights a week. Being dyslexic myself, this has been an eye opener to do along with him. I can relate to his thought process and help guide him through his struggles. There are many great aspects of the book, but my favorite part is the writing exercises for the alphabet. Each letter is demonstrated using circles and stars to show him where to place his pencil, where to draw the line, and where to end the process. He used to write all of his letters with no rhyme or reason and no particular starting or ending point. Whenever he brings work home from school, I can clearly see what letters have been practiced in the book versus the lessons the he hasn't done yet. It's a remarkable improvement! After he completes this book, I will likely order another one in hopes that the repetition of the lessons will help him build confidence and help with his poor short term memory. This is a great book with great lessons.
