Summary: Not for everyone but a good start
Comment: I have found this book a useful tool on this road but it is not the definative answer to anything. It may help with some reading skills but my daughter has been doing this in school and home for a long time and I cannot claim it is doing any good. I was warned by a dyslexia expert that it would be a useful tool but that it does not work for everyone but neither would it do any harm. Dyslexia is not about reading and writing but this book is a useful tool to help eleviate some symptons.

Summary: Still the best!
Comment: There hasn't been a review for a few years so I thought I'd emphasise that, despite the prevelance of new ways of helping dyslexics (cd roms, games etc) and, although these methods may have their benefits, nothing beats good old slog with Toe by Toe.
This book looks so offputting when you first open it - column after column of minutely differentiated words and acres of tick boxes BUT.... it works! Why?
Because dyslexic people NEED drip feeding day by day, little by little, rule by rule, until it gradually begins to make sense. Those of us lucky enough to just 'get' the rules of English don't realise what a fiendish language it can be. It's like if you find it hard to lose weight - the answer's easy but you have to keep doing it every day.
And despite my fears, both my kids actually enjoy using it. In fact the lack of bells and whistles helps concentrate their minds, and all those little ticks give them a daily sense of achievement.

Summary: Excellent results
Comment: We have used this with our seven year old daughter for a period of seven months. She has gone from bottom of the class to top third in that time. The results have been fantastic. She has changed from a shy 'hates reading' child to someone who cannot get enough to read. I cannot recommend this highly enough. It instructs you to follow the directions to the letter, which we did - spending perhaps 15-20 minutes a day with the book.

Summary: One small step...
Comment: After a year of total despondency, this great small book has really launched my dyslexic son's reading. Not only can he now read, but he wants to read and is happy to tackle new words with confidence. Brilliant.

Summary: Every parent should know about this book
Comment: After the school completely failed to help my bright 7 year old son to read properly, I was recommended this book by a friend who'd been through a similar experience with her son. This book has been a revelation. My son has improved so much with his reading that it is astonishing. Not only that, his self esteem has soured along with his confidence. The book is highly structured so has to be followed exactly but as it only takes 20 minutes per day it's easy to fit in around his other homework. It's not the most exciting thing to do - but I found that a sticker chart with a reward at the end of it works wonders to keep my son motivated. I shudder to think what would have happened if we hadn't found this book, but just thank goodness that we did.
