Beskrivning
In today’s educational space, no student who struggles with reading should be denied a fair and equal education just because teachers are not trained to understand the implications of dyslexia. Failing to learn to read is not failing to learn. It merely means that the orthodox methods of whole-language reading instruction have not favored those students who need specific multisensory instruction. In Narratives from Mothers of Children with Dyslexia: Our Stories for Educators, mothers share personal stories of pain in navigating educational spaces for the success of their sons and daughters who are dyslexic. Despite resistance from within the PreK–12 academy, these mothers have become warriors for education.The narratives in this text are global ones, from Singapore, India, Kenya, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States, and are in local "dialect." The mothers use a variety of terms to describe their experiences, but the differences in language only prove that the language of experience is universal; we can understand everyone, even if they use different terms or names. We understand what they have learned through the challenges and struggles of serving as the backbone of their child’s education. We can easily translate that experience into the global, universal expression of a parent’s love for their child.

Recensioner i media

“The stories of the mothers featured in this book mirror my own personal journey of advocating for my daughter Latecia, who is dyslexic. It has not been an easy journey but a necessary one. From seeking help from the school and teachers I thought were the experts, to realizing that they didn’t have the answers and that I was in fact my child’s best advocate, a Dyslexia Warrior Mom was born. This book reveals the ‘engine’ driving the movement for dyslexia advocacy, awareness, teacher training, appropriate remediation, early intervention, and legislation. It recognizes and explains in an easy-to-read format the realities mothers of dyslexic children face. This book is a must-read for anyone involved in the work of dyslexia.”—Clarice L. Jackson, Founder and State Leader, Decoding Dyslexia Nebraska; President/CEO, Voice Advocacy Center; Dyslexia Warrior Mom
