At last...a book that provides parents with the complete picture! This very important book will be warmly embraced by parents. Valerie Muter uses her lengthy experience as a researcher and psychologist to provide parents with a clear understanding of the reading process and a useful bank of teaching and home strategies. The book more than lives up to its promise of providing parents with a better understanding of literacy difficulties and dyslexia. A 'must read' for parents who need a clearer understanding of the assessment and teaching process for their child. -- Dr. Gavin Reid, Author and Psychologist This is an excellent book which all parents who are concerned about their child's literacy development should read. Written in a clearly accessible style, the first half of the book explains the challenges of learning to read, drawing on solid research evidence and described simply with utmost clarity. What follows is a superb exposition of the supports parents can give to their child with dyslexia, with or without other co-occurring conditions. From what to look out for, to what to say to the teacher, how to seek assessment and what can be done at home to help, this is a feast of good advice. -- Maggie Snowling CBE Professor Emerita, University of Oxford
