This book is packed full of information about dyslexia, including historical, diagnostic, educational, and inspirational. I would say it is focused primarily toward parents who want to better understand and advocate for their children, but it was also very helpful for me as a teacher. It‘s pretty in-depth and was a 26 hour listen. I will be finding a print copy to reference along with some of the other resources mentioned.

Daisey I chose this audiobook to complement current tutor training I‘m working through, and it also reinforced the benefits of teaching prefixes and suffixes in my classes alongside reading.
