Why Can't My Son Read? offers a practical view of dyslexia written for parents of boys who struggle with reading. Boys are kept back in schools at twice the rate of girls, they get expelled from preschool nearly five times more often than girls, they are diagnosed with learning disorders and attention problems at nearly four times the rate of girls, and they do less homework and get a greater proportion of low grades. This book will teach parents the components of the reading process, along with exploring the intersection of reading, attention, and executive functions. The importance of competition and active engagement for boys with dyslexia is dissected by looking at both sides of the competition debate. Specific checklists and guidelines to support boys' reading improvement are provided, and an additional chapter is included for parents seeking special education services for their sons, with "tricks of the trade" to get and keep the process moving. 500 $a New Book -- June -- 2015 650 0 $a Boys $x Books and reading $z United States. 650 0 $a Reading disability $z United States. 650 0 $a Dyslexia. 650 0 $a Boys $x Education $z United States. 650 7 $a Boys $x Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837364 650 7 $a Boys $x Education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837368 650 7 $a Dyslexia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00900345 650 7 $a Reading disability. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01090800 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Hurst, Michael Richard, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20150603012657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0F61651A09B611E59737C9B2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
