I'm reading several books this week:
No More School: Meeting the Educational Needs of Kids with Dyslexia and Language-Based Learning Difficulties
The author is Marianne Sunderland. Here's a link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58646102-no-more-school
This is a short read - about 150 pages. It was a good book for me, since I knew nothing about dyslexia when I started reading it. There is a great chapter called "Reviving the Shut-Down Learner" (chapter 11) that really would've helped me when I first pulled my oldest two kids from public school. The author is very supportive of unschooling, relaxed eclectic homeschooling, etc.
The Gift of Dyslexia
The authors are Davis and Braun. Here's the link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/824615.The_Gift_of_Dyslexia?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=07TK4yvmP3&rank=1
I'm only on chapter 5, so I don't know how I feel about this book. The reviews online are pretty mixed about it. It is the only resource I've seen so far that describes visual disturbances with dyslexia.
Activity Book for Kids with Dyslexia (100 Logic Games in Writing, Spelling & Math)
My 7 year-old hasn't started working on this yet, but it looks wonderful. It has mazes, puzzles, fill-in the missing letters, etc. The print is huge and this book looks pretty fabulous. I'm excited to work through it with him.
