Math equations and history lessons were a snap for Horatio and he flourished in those classes. Put him in English class and the letters would swirl through his mind making no sense at all. Frustrated to no end, Horatio feared being labeled dumb. Until the day his teacher and parents held a meeting and shared their discoveries. He would need to be taught life skills to control and overcome his Dyslexia.
Children’s author, Margot Finke, brings to the forefront the learning disability dyslexia with expert rhyme and compassion. For one to discover they are not alone, and the wealth of resources available to them, will surely pave the pathway to success.
Ellen Gurak’s delightful illustrations bring Horatio’s story to life and show him overcoming adversity. A helpful parent-teacher guide is included.

ReplyDeleteGreat review. I read Horatio Humble and it's wonderful. It will certainly be a useful tool for parents and teachers to read with children who are dyslexic.
