Brain learns differently November 28, 1999

The book tells a story about a boy named Brian who has dyslexia but does not know it. The other children at Brian's school make fun of him because he makes many mistakes when reading aloud and while writing on the board. He thinks of himself as being dumb. His parents believe that he is just lazy. It turns out that caring teacher recognizes that he is neither. The teacher recognizes the symptoms of dyslexia and sets out to get Brian the help he needs. Brian is embarrassed that he needs the extra help in school. After Brian's teacher begins to explain dyslexia more to him, he begins to understand that he needs the extra help not because he is dumb, but because his brain learns differently. The story offers hope; Brian is really smart he just learns differently. I strongly recommend this as a book to be shared by parents and their children
I strongly recommend this book. July 7, 1999

This is a story about a boy named Brian who has dyslexia but doesn't know it. He thinks he's dumb, his parents think he's lazy and a caring teacher recognizes that he is neither. The other kids at school make fun of him because he makes a lot of mistakes when reading aloud and writing on the board. The teacher recognizes the symptoms of dyslexia and sets about getting Brian the help he needs. I read this book to my seven-year-old son, who has recently been diagnosed with dyslexia, and he really felt that the writer understood the feelings that he has about school. Brian is embarrassed that he needs extra help in school. He's wants to do well in school and he wants to be cool. The story offers hope; Brian is really smart he just learns differently. I strongly recommend this as a book to be shared by parents and their children.

I bought this book to read to my own son in second grade who was diagnosed with dyslexia and who hates school because it is so difficult to him. I teach sixth grade special ed kids and I read the book to them, a chapter a day. They would beg me to read it to them instead of teaching the class! They related to it and inspired them.
I loved this book it was inspiring. December 9, 1998

It touched my heart about his mixed feelings.But it shows that no matter what you can bet the odds.And that everybody has true friends to except them for who they are!

This book should be required reading for all dyslexic kids and those
who teach them (parents and educators). It really touchs so many
facets of dsylexia in a kind and straight forward way - and it's a
really good story too!
