Learn to Read For Kids with Dyslexia, Volume 2: 125 More Games and Activities to Teach Your Child to Read

These books have absolutely given my son with dyslexia a new leash on learning. He used to struggle and hate doing any school work and now he begs to go work on these books. I would recommend these books to ANYONE- regardless if you have dyslexia or not. They just make it fun and hands on and it all makes so much sense! My kids all want to do them and all learn so well from them!

My daughter is going into 2nd grade. She knows all of her letter sounds and tests well. However, she absolutely can't read a book - even a level 1 kindergarten reader. I was frustrated that teachers weren't seeing this because she was testing well (don't ask me how). Her first grade teacher suggested she may be dyslexic but didn't pursue it. I noticed my daughter starting to tick the boxes of symptoms, going way back to her delayed speech. So I bought this book as step 1 in an effort to help her "catch up".At first, I was afraid this book may be too basic, but as we progressed I noticed the way she thought about words started to change. The activities are very fun - from bowling letters to popping balloons to skiing slopes and mixing potions. And lots of coloring! It doesn't "feel" like work to her. And it's mess free! No cutting and gluing, thank God.I would write out the words for my daughter so that she could see how they were broken up, since she understood basic phonetics. That helped her to visually understand stretching a word to read it. And I would often have her read the words rather than reading them to her. By breaking the words up, she was usually able to read them herself.The book goes from 3 letter words to 4 and then introduces digraphs and blends. It very slowly encourages kids to write more of their own letters. I've been very happy with it and the progress we've made. She's finally understanding that words that have the same ending often sound the same at the end, so all she has to change is the beginning sound, and she's getting the concept of rhymes.And if you're ever unsure of what a picture represents, there's a teacher's reference in the back. But I never found this to be a problem, as I sat next to my daughter and went over the work with her.We're about 3/4 of the way through the book now, and I'm not ready to try readers just yet, but I DO feel like we can start progressing to incorporating sight words and building back up those foundations of reading.I would definitely recommend this book for any struggling reader, though I do feel that any child mentally older than 9 would probably find this book too babyish.

Great book to have.

My daughter loves working on this book. She always wants to do more.
