The author interprets reading difficulties and dyslexia in terms of PASS (Planning-Attention-Simultaneous-Successive) processes, which are the four main processes of knowing and thinking that replace the traditional views of IQ and redefine intelligence. The PASS theory is used to explain reading problems that are not explained by a traditional IQ assessment.

“A success story . . . proof that one can rise above the disease and defy its so-called limitations on the brain.”—Daily Beast Despite winning the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2008, Philip Schultz could never shake the feeling of being exiled to the "dummy class" in school, where he was largely ignored by his teachers and peers and not expected to succeed. Not until many years later, when his oldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia, did Schultz realize that he suffered from the same condition. In his moving memoir, Schultz traces his difficult childhood and his new understanding of his early years. In doing so, he shows how a boy who did not learn to read until he was eleven went on to become a prize-winning poet by sheer force of determination. His balancing act—life as a member of a family with not one but two dyslexics, countered by his intellectual and creative successes as a writer—reveals an inspiring story of the strengths of the human mind.

This prevalent reading problem has puzzled medical researchers and parents alike for 100 years. The latest evidence indicates that dyslexic children have trouble breaking words into constituent sounds, which makes it harder for them to connect speech with letters of the alphabet.

Based on a 5-year research project on the shared 'active ingredients' of 14 successful methods for helping children with dyslexia, this book outlines three major theories on dyslexia before describing 14 different programmes. It describes the research method adopted to study these methods with the resulting 'common denominators' found in practice.
