Publisher's summary

This is an audiobook that consists of three short titles that all amount to an amazing book bundle for you to enjoy. The titles talk about different topics on dyslexia.

Book one: This is a great beginner's guide for those who have a learning disorder or disability. Often, dyslexia doesn’t get discovered until it is too late. Personally, I know people who have gone through elementary, middle school, and high school without any teacher ever noticing.

This has to stop.

Dyslexia is a common problem and can be helped and noticed when given the right tools. My aim in providing you this intricate guide is to show you those tools. Recognition of the problem is the first step, as is knowing where it came and what the symptoms are.

From there, one could tap into programs and exercises that can stimulate the child’s senses and help him/her become better at reading in a shorter time period. This is what it’s all about: to push them into the fast track toward the same capabilities as any other person without the unnecessary frustrations and disappointments so many children experience.

Book two: How can you see someone’s dyslexia? What is a clear indication and what is just a spelling difficulty or ordinary struggle every child experiences?

These are some of the many questions that will be answered in this quick guide to dyslexia. Also, you’ll learn more about:

  • How nature and nurture both contribute to the manifestation of dyslexia in someone’s learning style
  • What are the different approaches to learn more about the disability
  • What is the role of intelligence in relation to dyslexia (Is there any relationship, at all?)
  • What the “reading gene” consists of and how to tap into it
  • And much more!

Book three: What causes dyslexia should be no mystery, but it is. Many have been left in the dark, and it’s time to change all that. In this book, we’ll go over some of the most common denominators of dyslexic tendencies and the way to treat it.

Also, I’ll touch on how to build someone’s vocabulary (because, it’s not just about reading, but also about remembering words), the role of the school systems, targeting a dyslexic student’s strengths, and the best ways to empathize with them.

Last but not the least, I will line up some facts that debunk all the myths out there about dyslexia (and trust me, there are too many).

Amazing book

Kesha Smithsson has done an excellent job at combining her books and putting them into some kind of box set thing, which is greater value and longer listening time for using a credit. I was pleasantly surprised, to be honest. I loved this book.

Satisfied

I am satisfied with the book. That's just something I wanted to mention. I think the topic of dyslexia raises a lot of questions, and it seems like most or all of them are being answered in this 10-hour book bundle. I was delighted (yes, I say that sometimes) to listen to the professional narrator. So yes, two thumbs up and 5 stars.

Really nice

This is a really nice book. It's more like a book combo, which I've seen more on Audible lately. This book teaches you so much! You should really take a look at this. I was really excited about it, and I still am. That's why I recommend it.

Cool

Interesting! Have you actually tuned in to a book like this one? I took advantage of this book. It was an eye-opener. I was wanting to discover more about this topic anyway, so it was actually no accident that I bumped into this. I listened to it, and not to my surprise, it was exactly what I was searching for.

Information provided

The information provided doesn’t properly differentiate between certain other combined issues. For instance dysgraphia was called dyspraxia and explained as if dysgraphia was called dyspraxia. If you know from prior study though what the difference really is then the information is accurate for the proper name of dysgraphia though when it’s talking about dyspraxia. Words are hard though for people with these different difficulties and with the two words so closely similar it’s understandable why the confusion of names happened. This is still a great listen as long as it’s not the first thing that you listen to though.
