THE WORD GOBBLERS, a handbook for parents working with children struggling to read

One in six children and adults worldwide cope with reading, writing, math, or depth perception problems due to a condition called Irlen Syndrome—the inability of the brain to process certain light waves or colors. Symptoms can include headaches, stomachaches, sensitivity to light, poor sports performance, inability to focus, and clumsiness. This book offers a medically-based reason for this condition and steps to lessen or overcome it. Joan Gilbert's whimsical illustrations help children relate as Gobblers munch, crunch, and scrunch letters, words, and numbers.
