5.0 out of 5 stars A resource to help families live with the dyslexic(s)., May 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Reality of Dyslexia, Revised Edition (Paperback)

This book is full of perspectives from those who are non-dyslexic. Those who must live with more than one person with dyslexia need all the support we can get. The family experiences written about confirm the fact that we are not dealing with this in isolation. It also gives the reader hope.
