THE DYSLEXIA EMPOWERMENT PLAN: A BLUEPRINT FOR RENEWING YOUR CHILD’S CONFIDENCE AND LOVE OF LEARNING

Book ID/图书代码： 02740013B63224

English Summary/英文概要： More than thirty million people in the United States are dyslexic—a brain-based genetic trait, often labeled as a “learning disability” or “learning difference,” that makes interpreting text and reading difficult. Yet even though children with dyslexia may have trouble reading, they don’t have any problems learning; dyslexia has nothing to do with a lack of intellect.
While other books tell you what dyslexia is, this book tells you what to do. Dyslexics’ innate skills, which may include verbal, social, spatial, kinesthetic, visual, mathematical, or musical abilities, are their unique key to acquiring knowledge. Figuring out where their individual strengths lie, and then harnessing these skills, offers an entrée into learning and excelling. And by keeping the focus on learning, not on standard reading the same way everyone else does, a child with dyslexia can and will develop the self-confidence to flourish in the classroom and beyond.
After years of battling with a school system that did not understand his dyslexia and the shame that accompanied it, renowned activist and entrepreneur Ben Foss is not only open about his dyslexia, he is proud of it. In The Dyslexia Empowerment Plan he shares his personal triumphs and failures so that you can learn from his experiences, and provides a three-step approach for success:
• Identify your child’s profile: By mapping your child’s strengths and weaknesses and assisting her to better understand who she is, you can help your child move away from shame and feelings of inadequacy and move toward creating a powerful program for learning.
• Help your child help himself: Coach your child to become his own best advocate by developing resiliency, confidence, and self-awareness, and focusing on achievable goals in areas that matter most to him.
• Create community: Dyslexic children are not broken, but too often the system designed to educate them is. Dare to change your school so that your child has the resources to thrive. Understanding your rights and finding allies will make you and your child feel connected and no longer alone.
Packed with practical ideas and strategies dyslexic children need for excelling in school and in life, this empowering guide provides the framework for charting a future for your child that is bright with hope and unlimited potential.

Awards/获奖情况：PW星级评论
这本充满热情而又科学合理的指南试图劝导人们摒弃阅读障碍症患者是有智力问题的这个理念。本书作者本•福斯（本身也是位阅读障碍症患者，因特尔阅读器的发明人）提倡将阅读障碍症看做是一种典型的，与失明、多动症一样的残疾病症。福斯将电影、有声读物等材料定义为听觉阅读，而“视觉阅读”则被视为常规的教育方法。本希望父母应该学会阐述孩子的需求，使他们能够获得基本的支持，这样利于孩子信心的建立。福斯解释了目前辅助技术的现状，并强调了《学习盟友》中一些资料的可利用性。他还建议了如何判断一个学校的环境以及其是否适合孩子的的发展。这本书将受到阅读障碍症患儿家长的热烈欢迎。
