Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain by Maryanne Wolf

4.0

I feel this should be a must read in any education program. It really puts an entirely positive spin on Dyslexia, allowing the educator to view students as perfectly on par with their reading classmates in intelligence while acknowledge extra help is needed. So often when acknowledge help is needed we diminish the child's intelligence which this book points out that the ability to read has nothing to do with intelligence but physical brain chemistry. I really enjoyed it even if some of the science was lost on me. I'd love to hear what you think.
