Dyslexia Tool Kit Expanded Edition: What to do when phonics isn’t enough

This dyslexia book is different because it uses the dyslexic gifts of pattern recognition and complex thinking, rather than dwelling on the dyslexic weakness in phonemic awareness.

Yvonna Graham (BA Psychology, MA Special Education) brings over 30 years of tutoring experience to this book. 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 approach allows 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 easy handbook? No worries! The Grahams did that for you!

This expanded edition includes 3 added chapters: 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.

Dyslexia doesn’t have to feel like chains; it can be wings instead! Let your dyslexic students soar!
