A practical and hands-on approach to dyslexia screening
In Is It Dyslexia?, certified dyslexia assessment and therapy specialist, April McMurtrey, delivers an expert and accessible method for screening a child for dyslexia, both professionally and at home. You'll find comprehensive, clear, step-by-step processes that you can use to confidently and accurately determine the likelihood of dyslexia.
The author shares the tools and strategies used by professional dyslexia screeners that you can implement for your own use. The book includes first, next, and final steps for students with dyslexia to help you feel confident and capable as you move forward with your screening results.
Is It Dyslexia? contains an explanation of what dyslexia is, and contains a comprehensive dyslexia questionnaire, step-by-step instructions for administering nine different screening tests, and recommended next steps when the screening instruments suggest an increased likelihood of dyslexia.
Perfect for homeschool teachers and parents who suspect their child may have dyslexia, Is It Dyslexia? also belongs on the bookshelves of instructional coaches, counselors, and speech-language therapists looking for a practical walkthrough of dyslexia screening.
It's rare to find someone with the knowledge and experience to simplify the science of reading so anyone, regardless of their background, can help their child succeed. And yet, by creating a book that is as practical as it is thorough, April helps us to not only recognize the signs of dyslexia: she shows us what to do about it."
--Spencer Russell, Toddlers Can Read
As a pediatrician, I see that dyslexia is a widespread, often misdiagnosed problem, causing considerable anguish to children and parents, when not diagnosed and managed early in life. Also as a mom with two kids, I feel that this book clarifies so much about this condition and would be an asset to both parents and practitioners alike."
