Praise for Is It Dyslexia?

"It's rare to find someone with the knowledge and experience to simplify the science of reading so anyone, regardless of their background, can help their child succeed. And yet, by creating a book that is as practical as it is thorough, April helps us to not only recognize the signs of dyslexia: she shows us what to do about it."

--Spencer Russell, Toddlers Can Read

"As a pediatrician, I see that dyslexia is a widespread, often misdiagnosed problem, causing considerable anguish to children and parents, when not diagnosed and managed early in life. Also, as a mom with two kids, I feel that this book clarifies so much about this condition and would be an asset to both parents and practitioners alike."

--Pamela Britto-Williams, MD, FAAP, FAAAAI, CHCQM

"Is it Dyslexia? is a realistic and inspiring journey that provides much needed tools for families as they navigate a new landscape with their child's education."

--Amy Noall, Psychologist, Educator, and Founder of The Scholars' Grove

"You'll find valuable information and the best practices in Is it Dyslexia?: A Comprehensive Guide to Screening, Understanding, and Supporting Children with Dyslexia. This manual outlines a roadmap for identifying at-risk children, including early signs of dyslexia and detailed screening tools and evaluations. April McMurtrey's knowledge shines through as she guides you step by step through the screening process so that no child's struggle with dyslexia is overlooked."

--Patrice Badami, MA in Childhood and Special Education, and host of the "Acorn to Tree" family podcast

Is it Dyslexia? equips them with comprehensive Dyslexia Questions and Answers, along with step-by-step screening tasks featuring easy-to-follow instructions. These invaluable resources empower individuals to screen their loved ones or students, make well-informed decisions, and offer precise support, thereby making a profound impact on the lives of struggling readers."

--Mary Medina, Owner, Breakthrough Reading Online Tutoring LLC, Certified Teacher, and Reading Specialist

"Is it Dyslexia? by April McMurtry is an indispensable resource for parents seeking to understand and support individuals with dyslexia. With a unique blend of personal experience and extensive research, April's book provides both comprehensive insights about dyslexia and practical screenings for personal use. Her compassionate approach empowers readers to recognize dyslexia, access crucial accommodations, debunk myths about dyslexia, and tap into the strengths often inherent in dyslexic individuals. This book's importance cannot be overstated, and it is a testament to April's expertise and dedication to making a profound difference in the lives of those affected by dyslexia. "
