Reviews for Helping Your Child Overcome Reading Challenges

“Dr. Tracey has written a winner! This is an essential guide for any parent whose child has difficulties with reading. It has a strong research and practical base, plentiful examples, and hands-on activities at the end of each chapter. For me, this book is the best on the market.”--Patricia A. Edwards, PhD, University Distinguished Professor of Language and Literacy, Michigan State University ""I love this book. I'm not a teacher by trade, and I had no clue about how to help my daughter with reading. Dr. Tracey provides suggested books and engaging activities that make learning fun.""--Lisa K., parent ""I read this book with great interest as both a parent and an educator, and came away inspired with ideas to help my own children and share with colleagues. Dr. Tracey takes us inside the life of the developing reader and provides a positive roadmap for joining children on their literacy journeys. The book offers stories of real kids and families alongside practical tools, resources, and easy-to-implement activities. A 'must read' for all parents who want to support the developing readers in their lives!""--Heather Kenyon Casey, PhD, Department of Teacher Education, Rider University-
