Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines moving accounts of the lived experience of dyslexic adults with tips and strategies for surmounting the challenges you or a loved one or family member may face. Drawing on in-depth interviews, Kelli Sandman-Hurley explores common themes such as school experiences; the impact of dyslexia on mental wellbeing; literacy skills; and being a dyslexic parent, perhaps to a child who is also dyslexic. Interviewees share what helped them (or didn't), the strategies they use daily to tackle literacy-based tasks, anxiety and low self-esteem, the advice they would give to the parent of a dyslexic child who is struggling, and reflect on how their experience has impacted their own parenting style. Whether you're dyslexic yourself or supporting someone who is, this book sheds light on an underrepresented topic, providing much-needed guidance and insight around what life is really like for an adult with dyslexia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an authority in the dyslexia field, this is the first accessible guide to the close interplay of spelling and dyslexia. Kelli Sandman-Hurley talks the teacher or parent through why kids with dyslexia find spelling so hard, and what we can learn from the spelling mistakes in their writing samples. Introducing key terminology around morphemes (smallest unit of meaning in words) and phonemes (smallest contrastive units in language) in an accessible and clear way, Sandman-Hurley goes on to explain how we can identify, and learn from, kids' spelling miscues, and use them to further inform our teaching and instruction. Shedding much-needed light on an under-explored tool for classroom or home learning, Dyslexia and Spelling is essential reading for teachers and parents alike.

Book excerpt: To the Little Boy in Me: Learning with Dyslexia & ADHD is me looking back from adulthood to the little boy in me saying, "You're going to be ok. Dyslexia was not a curse. ADHD was not a curse." I graduated from high school with honors. I didn't learn I was dyslexic until I was a junior in college. I was a pre-med major. who went on to graduate from college with a degree in psychology and a minor in biology. I innately taught myself how to learn and create my own strategies to cope with this disability. I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until much later in life when I was thirty years old when I was writing my dyslexia book. In the process, I discovered the things that I got in trouble with as a kid are things I get paid for as an adult which is, my interaction with people, the way that I communicate, they way I use my dyslexia with my gifts and talents and how I remember things. All of the things I struggled with academically in school are things I get paid to share as a keynote speaker, as a life coach and as a presenter. I am now a sought after person because of the gifts that dyslexia and ADHD have given me. As a Dad, ADHD is great, when I'm working with my 3-year-old and 8-month-old daughters and I'm trying to be a parent. I realize I can't always focus because things are always moving in the stay-at-home Dad world. The blessings of being dyslexic are real. Yes, the gifts are cool and amazing. But before reaching the goal, there is a lot of self-doubt, low self-esteem, frustration, and junk to sift through. A lot of reaching back and hugging the little boy in me and letting him know it's okay. You are better because it happened the way it did. The qualities and character you have are results of what you've gone through. You are not weak. You have a testimony to share that can benefit someone else's life.
