WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED DYSLEXIA? a Handbook for Students, Parents and Teachers by Ray Ham, M.Ed. Copyright 1989, 2001

The author is foutunate in that he found a teacher with dyslexia who tutors children with dyslexia. All of the illustrations in the 28 page, professionally bound handbook are by the teacher and students with dyslexia.

The intended audience for WHAT'S THIS THING CALLED DYSLEXIA,
is the elementary school child who finds reading difficult; thus, the purpose of a read-aloud approach. Also, this approach allows the adult reader an opportunity to discuss the concepts in the handbook with the child.

Besides imparting information to the child about dyslexia, the theme throughout the handbook is one of encouragement. The author is not teaching a feel-good-and-everything-will- be-OK approach; but he does believe that positive reinforcement, a huge dose of love, and encouragement from parents, friends and teachers will assist children with dyslexia in developing their full potential.

The end of the handbook has this saying: I MAY HAVE DYSLEXIA BUT DYSLEXIA DOES NOT HAVE ME.

With a little bit of creative thought and discussion with others, this saying can be used in a variety of ways to encourage children with dyslexia.

If you are interested in getting pricing information for this handbook, please email rayham@sbcglobal.net with dyslexia as the subject line. SORRY! LIMITED TO THE USA.
