Parenting Dyslexia

"Parenting Dyslexia should be required reading for every parent of a child with dyslexia. Drawing on close to 25 years treating children at New York’s Children’s Hospital at Montefiore, and on her own experience struggling with dyslexia, Dr. Lisa Rappaport has written this book using straightforward, easy-to-understand language to explain the difficulties that a child with dyslexia faces; how to approach the academic hurdles they encounter, at each school level; and most important, how parents can support these children emotionally, to nurture their beleaguered sense of self."—Jane Ross, Founder and Executive Director, Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities

“By following the advice in these pages, you won’t just be helping your child overcome obstacles in reading or writing; you’ll be cultivating a deeper bond, one rooted in understanding, empathy, and shared determination. This book will leave you better equipped to support your child in every way: emotionally, academically, and personally.”—Lisa Damour, PhD, from the foreword
