Developing Your Child for Success

This book has simple activities that are designed to help give a child the necessary perceptual motor-skills needed to succeed in school. The activities are in 8 categories: motor, visual motor, ocular motor, vision, laterality, directionality, sequential processing, & simultaneous processing. The things I had to purchase were a chalkboard & metronome. The other materials needed I had on hand; examples are index cards, dictionary, rulers, paper, pencil, colored chalk, etc. These are actual activities you can do and not just theoretical. They are simple and easy-to-follow. I am doing these with my dyslexic son & plan to use with my not dyslexic younger daughter.

I purchased this book to help with my 3 year old son who just didn't seem to be learning things very well. The book has helped tremendously! I would recommend it to all parents of young children. It is easy to read and the exercises are easy to follow and do with young children. Dr. Lane explains well the reasons for different activities, which has enabled me to incorporate more learning activities into our "normal" routine.
