Reading by the Colors: Overcoming Dyslexia & Other Reading Disabilities

If you, your child, or someone you know has a reading disability, there may be a quick and effective solution to this all-too-common problem. Educational psychologist Helen Irlen has developed a revolutionary new technique that can improve or entirely alleviate reading difficulties for approximately one out of every five people who are affected by such a problem. Ten years ago, Helen Irlen was studying methods of helping adults with chronic learning disorders. Through chance, she noticed that certain adults showed marked improvement in their reading abilities when their reading material was covered by a transparent colored acetate sheet. For the next five years, Irlen worked on and refined her discovery, developing and patenting a series of colored lenses that when worn by people who suffered from Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (SSS) either improved or eliminated sight-reading problems. What doctors, psychologists, and learning specialists could minimally treat with either drugs or learning compensation techniques, Irlen's revolutionary method could correct immediately and with no side effects. This is the first book to explain in easy-to-understand language just what the Irlen Method is, what it can do to improve reading skills, and what it cannot do. It also includes a color-keyed self-test. For millions of children and adults who suffer from dyslexia and other related reading problems, this book may provide the first glimpse of a permanent solution.
