Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Anyone seeking a low-jargon approach to reading instruction will find it here. Written by the director of the National Reading Diagnostics Institute, this book offers solutions to parents or child-care workers who wish to supplement a preschool through high-school reading program in order to bring a child up to or beyond his or her grade level. It is clearly intended to support rather than supplant the classroom teacher. Linksman has successfully tested these techniques at all grade and achievement levels and shows parents how to remedy both recent and recurring problems by boosting a child's self-esteem before building his reading skills. Interested adults can learn how to diagnose a child's learning style as predominantly visual, auditory, tactile, or kinesthetic and will find games and exercises suited to each style. Additional diagnostic procedures and exercises are simple, challenging, and easily accomplished in short, daily sessions at home. The techniques here may be practical and traditional, but the book's real value is its offer of hope that the worst reading problem is solvable with time, effort, support, and a positive attitude.

A practical guide to addressing reading problems in children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Solving Your Child's Reading Problems (Hardcover)
I have found this book to be an extremely useful guide to teaching children to read. I have read numerous books on this subject and cannot recommend this book highly enough. I am helping a number of children with their reading at my child's school and have found the step-by-step suggestions in this book to be practical and thorough for all the children I work with.This book is written in a positive manner, which is important for parents of children with reading problems. It helps them to understand the potential causes of reading problems, how to determine why a particular child is having problems and how to use different techniques to address those problems, while at the same time helping them to understand that many problems have nothing to do with intelligence. Lastly, this book provides sufficient detail that an adult can easily implement the techniques described.
