Dyslexia Tool Kit Expanded Edition: What to do when phonics isn't enough

By Alta E Graham and Yvonna Graham M Ed

Book Overview

This dyslexia book uses the dyslexic gifts of pattern recognition and complex thinking, rather than dwelling on the dyslexic weakness in phonemic awareness.

Yvonna Graham (BA Psychology, MA Special Education) brings over 30 years of tutoring experience to this book. Her daughter and co-author, Dr. Alta E. Graham, (D.A. Music, MS Computer Science) was pronounced "uneducable" by her first-grade teacher. The counselor thought Alta could learn to wipe tables with special training. Neither prediction was correct. Alta was a music professor and academic tutor before switching careers to work in orbital dynamics.

This expanded edition includes 3 added chapters: phonics (what to do and not do), music training (how it affects long-term outcomes in reading), and Speech-to-Text technology as a dyslexia tool. There's a section in which the authors answer questions from readers of the first edition.
