“Reading
Problems Resolved by Allen and
Virginia Crane is a treasure for truly turning around the lives of many children. Page after page tells how to
detect and eliminate various common and some less frequently recognized visual problems that can
interfere with the ability of a
youngster to learn. It will enable parents and teachers to detect a variety of problems that interfere with reading speed and
comprehension – which in turn can affect the rest of a child’s
life. It provides clues to help
detect other common causes of
reading problems such as those due
to allergies, desk position, etc. It not only provides sensible answers regarding the most common causes of visual difficulties, it
provides answers that are practical,
affordable and possible. Every teacher and parent
needs this book. This book is needed at an International level to help children all over the
world. The Lion’s Organization is to be commended for truly helping to create and promote this book so children who have visual and learning problems can be helped to reach their full intellectual
potential. What a monumental contribution they have made to our future
generations!”
