Dyslexia

Wendy Moragne's Dyslexia does something genuinely useful: it puts real teenagers at the center of the story, letting young readers see themselves in people who have figured out how to live with and work around a learning difference. The plain-language explanations of how dyslexia affects reading and language processing are clear without being condescending, which is exactly what this audience needs. Parents and teachers will find it a solid conversation-starter. The honest caveat is age — published in 1997, some of the medical guidance and support strategies described are more than 25 years old, and the field has moved. Read it for the human stories and the foundational concepts, then supplement with current resources for the latest intervention approaches.
