The "How-To" Book of Effective Methods for Helping People with Dyslexia and Other Struggling Readers.
This book is not another reading program, it is a book full of simple, multisensory, logical, and highly effective methods that can be applied to almost any quality reading program to make it much more appropriate for teaching a reading struggler. Every idea, accommodation, and technique in this book is Orton-Gillingham-based and has been tested by Carol Fitzpatrick with her own students. These methods really work!
You will learn how to teach:
- The Sounds of English (phonemic awareness)
- Phonics (alphabetic principles)
- Decoding BIG Words
- Vocabulary
- Fluency
- Comprehension
- Handwriting
- Spelling
- Written Expression
This book is an updated and simplified version for parents, teachers, and tutors of Carol's original book, "Help, I Can't Read!" published in 2009.
