Same Great Story, A New Name
and Additions to the Parent Bonus Section
Review:
From www.homemakingwithteach.com
Chris is a 12 year old boy who loves baseball and is good
at it. There is one thing that embarrasses and frustrates
him, however: he struggles to read. His parents want to
help but aren’t sure how to proceed. This is the beginning
of the book Rounding the Bases: Chris Learns to Read.
The author has cleverly written this book for struggling
readers and their parents. It is a chapter book about a boy
who is struggling to learn to read but is just not getting
the help he needs in public school. It is also about the
help that he and his parents find in the Neurodevelopmental
approach to learning. The book is a gentle, pleasant read,
and there is a nice bonus section at the end with good
resources and three excellent articles.
The author, Maggie Dail, was a teacher for 25 years. She has
a Masters of Arts in Special Education and has operated her
own Learning Resource Center. Later she found her niche in
helping homeschool families, including those with children
with special needs. She currently helps children and adults
in her work as a Neurodevelopmentalist.
For the sake of full disclosure, I am a mom with several
struggling learners in our family. We are using the
Neurodevelomental approach with some of our children and
have found it to be extremely helpful and beneficial. This
book is a good introduction to the method, and I recommend
it if you have a child who could use a little, or a lot, of
help. Rounding the Bases: Chris Learns to Read is
available from www.centerforneurodevelopment.com
for $13.95, or by emailing
orders@specialhelps.com
Getting to First Base – Chris Struggles to Read
by Maggie Dail is still available, while supplies last, for $10.00.
