DyslexiaLand is an imaginary place, but a very real one for the 1 in 5 students with dyslexia. Especially in school, where these otherwise bright children struggle unnecessarily, and parents don't understand why. With expert dyslexia advocate Cheri Rae as your guide, you'll discover:

- How to identify your child strengths and challenges, meet with teachers, and to effectively advocate for your child.

- Which reading approaches work for students with dyslexia, and which ones don't, and why the "D" word is such a hot-button issue.
