>Summer reading for parents and teachers - They are what you feed them by Dr 
>Alex Richardson. ISBN 0-00-718225-2.  Am halfway through it and it is full 
>of good stuff.  Except page 42 where it is stated that dyslexia can only be 
>formally diagnosed after many years spent struggling with learning to read 
>and write.
>
>I disagree with that idea - for example, we identify and work with kids as 
>early as year 1 so it is possible.  It just may not be what happens for the 
>most part.  Martin Turner holds that assessment is possible from age 5 
>upwards.
>
>It is a very readable book full of excellent info on food, learning and 
>behaviour.
