"Your book covers many great topics and provides helpful information in a specific, concrete, user-friendly format. It's a book you can read, read, and reread and still learn something new every time!

                     - A mom








You cover all age groups (birth-HS) and the information  in the appendices is invaluable! I can honestly say this one book helps me with any reading / literature help I need for any of my girls.   I take it to the library when we go and choose books from your list. You list great books!

                         - Tami












This is not a book that someone can read once and place on a bookshelf. Great resource!"
