Summary: great book for helping your child to read
Review: This is an excellent book for helping your child to read. I learned a lot from this book. I learned about the reading programs available at school for kids struggling with reading, how to get a tutor or be one yourself for your child, and what to teach during these tutoring sessions. Also, how to manage 'boy' issues. It has helped me working with my child, and I would highly recommend this book.

Summary: A great caring way to get your child to read now
Review: This was a great book.Anyone that has a child that has trouble in school will find so much in this book that is helpful.It gives step by step guidance on how to find a tutor or how to be one yourself.It not only teaches you what to teach but how to teach too.Tracey Wood really cares about these kids and you can see it all throughout the book.I especially liked the section on when kids have troubles in school.Inattention and being a class clown are ways kids act out their difficulty with reading.I would definately recommend this book.

Summary: Fighting Literacy
Review: Tracey Wood explains an ongoing epidemic in America, children developing reading problems. Wood provides strategies and resources for parents and teachers to find ways to solve a child's reading problem and help them to succeed in the classroom. As an educator, I see parents in denial over their child's reading woes. Thus, students seem not to be engaged in reading.All too often, many parents deny that their child has a reading problem. This book will entail a parent to acknowledge that their son or daughter does have a reading or learning disability. Wood encourages them to be involved in their education. Like she says, a parental guidance equals success in life.

Summary: Excellent advise, well written.
Review: Tracey Wood is obviously pretty knowledgeable about reading difficulties and kids in general, but you also get the strong sense that she has a genuine liking for kids. I liked that I didn't feel preached at or condescended to, whilst at the same time she doesn't use much educational jargon. It was pitched exactly at moms with kids, and gave great practical suggestions for improving boys' reading - though I'm sure the program would be suited to girls too. I've started the exercises with my son, so far with fantastic results - can't recommend this book too highly!

Summary: FANTASTIC
Review: Tracey you're a godsend! But where were you 40 years ago when my five brothers needed you? I can only imagine the difference it would have made in their lives, knowing how to read and the extra confidence that would have given them - the mind boggles! I have loaned my copy to my friend who has twin sons aged 5. She too is loving every bit of it and commented that it is very easy to read and follow. Even so, she's on the second read so that she doesn't miss anything. So from both of us a HUGE THANK YOU. Will there be a similar book for girls? When? What else have you written? Would love more information.
