The best source for information on the learning disability of hyperlexia, the precocious ability to read coupled with language delay and poor social skills.

This book explains it - describes my son perfectly, down to the last detail. Great methods for identifying, reaching and teaching the child with hyperlexia. Good resource section in the back.

As a mom with a Hyperlexic child, I found this book a true assest to my life. It gave me insight to things that I didn't understand. And as my son is very young at this point, is showed me things that I am instore for. There are hints and tips for parents and teachers as well. Anyone dealing with Hyperlexia should have this book.

Living in the 3rd world makes you wonder how can you help your child, if nobody heard of hyperlexic children, well this book is a good one it touchs almost everything in your life and suggest possible ways to solve your problems to help your child.
Good luck.

My 3 yr old son is hyperlexic. We realized he could read almost as soon as he first began to talk at 27 months old. Once our therapist informed us about hyperlexia we bought this book right away. It was so helpful. There are not many resources out there for us parents dealing with this issue. If you have a hyperlexic child (or suspect it) you have no choice but to read this book right away!
