Customer Reviews

Too narrow and partisan at times
I found the content too narrow and focussed on the author's pet remedy. At times it read like an advertisement for his treatment. I did not find it very valuable save as a source of possible future references.

It's the easiest to understand from a layman's point of view
This book allowed us to understand the symptoms we were observing & diagnose our 6 year old daughter. It described the range of dyslexic symptoms in a way that a concerned parent with no previous experience or medical knowledge could understand! It compelled us to make an appointment with Dr. Levinson. We noticed dramatic improvements by the 2nd day that my daughter was on the over the counter medicine that Dr. Levinson prescribed. My daughter is a much happier child and we are a less stressed family because of this book.

This book changed my son's life, the best book on dyslexia
This book offers the best description of dyslexia I have ever read. It is full of case studies and easy to understand information on dyslexic students. Levinson's insights into the workings of the dyslexic's mind is amazing and my 11 year old son understood the examples and said - see I told you how I felt and the problems I have but you didn't listen - I said I did listen but I didn't understand how he felt or what he could do. This book convinced me to go to Dr. Levinson with my son when he was in grade 6 and he went from a grade 2.6 reading level to a grade 6 reading level in 3 months. His teachers and our family were amazed. My son and I appeared on Canadian television- CBC Newsworld with Dr. Levinson and many people have contacted me in the past 2 years.

If you have any questions you can contact me through Dr. Levinson's office. I would be willing to talk to parents or adults about his theories.
