Learn to Read for Kids with Dyslexia: 101 Games and Activities to Teach Your Child to Read (Phonics Makes Readers) Paperback – October 30, 2018

This book has helped a student of mine with reading. Fun mini games to play and things to do that the student didn’t realize he was working!

Excellent book to help your student.

This is a great book to work on syllables, sounds and words.Very well done, colorful and easy to follow for the child and the parent :)This is my son’s favorite homework book as it is well illustrated and fun to do. A must have if your child has dyslexia. It makes sense to the children and I would recommend this book from 1st grade to ....My son told me that from Kindergarten the words were difficult and that he did not know what to do with all that. This book helped him tremendously to review the sounds, the blending sounds, to understand how words work in a sentence. To review and practice his letters and mostly to ENJOY learning !!!!!

I definitely think this can be helpful. I'd like a whole series though. Id also like them to release a practice worksheet with all the letters only.Id also think a black and white option would be very helpful. I found some of the activities were too colorful and made my son have a hard time. He sees all the stuff and gets overwhelmed and immediately thinks he cant do it.We've switched to a different method once my son understands a bit better el go back to this.

This book is very handy, teaches me how to help my grandson, whom has ADHD, AND Dyslexic.

Update:I began this with a student and they absolutely love it! It’s very interactive and engaging. The student asked to do multiple pages a day (and this is a child who does not enjoy school). Can’t recommend enough!Original review: The activities in this workbook look engaging and align with what we know about the science of reading. I think this particular workbook would greatly benefit a child when paired with a systematic phonics book called “Phonics Parhways” or the free program Treasure Hunt Reading by Prenda (a program designed especially for those with dyslexia). I don’t think this workbook, by itself would be enough for a parent working with a child after school to correct reading struggles. But the two programs I mention are either very low cost or free and when paired with this workbook, could really help a child who is struggling. All that being said, this is a really fantastic workbook & it is very evident the author has done a lot of research on the science of reading.

Right off the bat with lessons 1 and 2, words should have accompanied the corresponding graphics as it’s very open to interpretation what you think it’s called. For example, a picture of clouds is actually “sky.” Frustratingly, if the parent or child sees it as clouds then you have unanswered, non rhyming segments and a pause occurs which can be upsetting as these kids already feel confused or “less than.” Activity 2 repeats this frustrating issue as it has a thermometer above a man running- but the words needed are “hot” and “runner.” Also a purple circle is “dot.” Strawberry jam is actually “jar.” Parents likely need to review the lesson ahead of time so both of them don’t feel frustrated with it. It’s not pick up and go either. There are lessons that require tools. They might be basic but a parent needs to look ahead and have those on hand. We didn’t have paper clips for example and that was required for the spinner in a game.

My daughter suffers from dyslexia and also very easily distracted, so I have a lot of unused workbooks around my house. This one caught her attention and she keeps using it! That's a win.I got it for her after she learned how to read more proficiently. It is appropriate for her ability level (she has been using it little by little between ages 10-12)
