In Part Two, you'll walk in your child's shoes to see for yourself:

In The Secret Life of the Dyslexic Child, you'll finally discover what your child goes through every day. You will come to understand his struggles with things you take for granted, such as reading, writing, memory, and following directions. What's more, you will learn, step by step, the best ways to help him reach his true potential.
For the first time, you'll truly understand:

Dr. Frank is dyslexic and gives many helpful tips on how to support your dyslexic child. As the parent of a newly diagnosed dyslexic son this has been the most informative book I have read so far. It has really helped me understand so much more about how my son views the world around him.
