Download or read book The Dyslexic Advantage Revised and Updated written by Brock L. Eide M.D., M.A. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated edition of Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide's popular dyslexia book with a wealth of new material and improved dyslexic-friendly font. What if we viewed dyslexia as a learning and processing style rather than as a learning disorder? Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide use their impressive backgrounds in neurology and education to debunk the standard deficit-based approach to dyslexia. People typically define “dyslexia” as a reading and spelling disorder. But through published research studies, clinical observations, and interviews with dyslexic individuals, the Eides prove that these challenges are not dyslexia’s main features but are instead trade-offs resulting from an entirely different pattern of brain organization and information processing that has powerful advantages. For example, dyslexic adults routinely outperform their non-dyslexic peers in studies on three-dimensional spatial reasoning and divergent creativity—one of the reasons why so many dyslexics are successful engineers. Approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population has dyslexia, and The Dyslexic Advantage shows how each one is predisposed to powerful skills called MIND strengths (Material, Interconnected, Narrative, and Dynamic Reasoning), leading them to possess incredible pattern detection, divergent thinking, episodic memory, problem solving, and prediction abilities. The revised and updated edition of The Dyslexic Advantage includes eighteen rich new profiles of remarkable individuals with dyslexia—such as several world-renowned scientists, a Pulitzer Prize–winning poet, a world-record-setting memory specialist, three MacArthur “Genius” Award winners, the technical advisor for the Jurassic Park movies, and many more. Meanwhile, the enormous advances in dyslexia research over the last ten years provide valuable new insights for educators, employers, parents, dyslexic adults, and anyone interested in neurodiversity and human cognition. Blending personal stories with hard science, The Dyslexic Advantage (Revised and Updated) provides empowering advice on how to identify, understand, nurture, and enjoy the strengths of the dyslexic mind.

Download or read book Dyslexia Tool Kit Expanded Edition What to Do when Phonics Isn t Enough written by Alta E. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dyslexia diagnosis often brings both relief and panic. It's good to know why a bright child fails to read, but it's overwhelming to sort through the mountain of programs, books, and techniques touted to be the ultimate answer to dyslexia. This dyslexia book is different from most because it focuses on using the dyslexic gifts of pattern recognition and complex thinking, rather than dwelling on the dyslexic weakness in phonemic awareness. When children experience repeated failure or hear that they could read if only they would try harder, it destroys the joy and motivation that empowers learning.Yvonna Graham (BA Psychology, MA Special Education) brings over 30 years of tutoring experience to this project. Her daughter and co-author, Dr. Alta E. Graham, (D.A. Music, MS Computer Science) was pronounced "uneducable" by her first-grade teacher. The counselor thought Alta could learn to wipe tables with special training. Neither prediction was correct. Alta was a music professor and academic tutor before switching careers to work in orbital dynamics. This book is not a "program" to be followed, but a tool kit to meet individual children's learning needs. Yvonna and Alta Graham distill decades of tutoring experience into simply described, easy tools for parents, tutors, and teachers to use with a dyslexic student. This approach enables dyslexic students to learn to read without stress. Do you wish you could read hundreds of books and research papers on dyslexia, try it all out to see what works, then condense that information into an easily accessible handbook to guide your teaching? No worries! The Grahams did that for you!This expanded edition includes added chapters on phonics (what to do and not do), music training (how it affects long-term outcomes in reading), and Speech-to-Text technology as a dyslexia tool. There's a section in which the authors answer questions from readers of the first edition. Reading needs to be happy to become a life-long skill. If children feel like failures when they try to read, they will avoid books. If the teaching method does not produce happy, eager readers, it's time to change something. This book gives you ways to do that. Dyslexia doesn't have to feel like chains; it can be wings instead! Let your dyslexic students soar!
