Summary
This revised edition about Alex, a child with learning disabilities, has been updated with completely new illustrations and reflects the use of the latest tactile techniques used in schools. In this story, Alex is inventing a cookie snatcher, but his lack of reading skills and impatience means that he needs extra help. There are new discussion starters for parents and professionals, and positive solutions are presented to help build a positive image for the learning-disabled child.
Reviews
"Must-have for every teacher and parent who has a child with a learning disability. By tactfully introducing the diagnosis and treatment of a learning disability, this book provides opportunity for parents and teachers to build student confidence and self-esteem...the discussion starter questions in the back of the book provide a great selection of thought-provoking questions."
