If You're So Smart, How Come You Can't Spell Mississippi: An Encouraging Book About Dyslexia and Growth Mindset for Kids and Resource for Teachers and Parents (The Adventures of Everyday Geniuses)

This book serves its intended purpose of educating about dyslexia. I felt the story was trying a little too hard but I’m an adult so... we used it in our school for Dyslexia Awareness Month to have the teachers read to the class. Appropriate for 2-4th grade I’d say.

I'm a reading teacher and every time I read this book to a group of students someone will tell me, "I have trouble with reading, too." This book helps them see that their brain is intelligent and capable, it just needs its own way to learn. Sometimes I can see relief on their faces as students listen.

This is a great book for children, and adults who work with children who have difficulty learning. It is a clear cut explanation about dyslexia.When children hear the word they feel that is something horrible; but this book helps children understand that very intelligent people have had to cope with dyslexia. Unfortunately many teachers do not recognize the problem, and do not address the difficulties these children face properly.Thus book helps children understand that nothing is wrong with them, and it helps to raise their self-esteem.SUPER BOOK!

A must read for any kid that struggles with learning! My son felt inspired by this story, felt that he could overcome his struggles and become anything he wants to be. Loved it.

This book would be useful and a healthy support for children with learning difficulties who need to understand they aren't alone or to help other children understand them better. Perhaps it would increase empathy in classrooms, or even better, reduce bullying. I am a 46-year-old wife and mother coping with and trying to understand a very bright husband and son learning to live with ADD, inattentive form. I would appreciate a book like this for that subject, too.

Any book you can read to a child at their level about dyslexia is a good idea. Also, look into something called bookshare .com or .org. I get books for my daughter for free here, even new ones. I had her doctor sign something they required and it saves you $ at the bookstore, you download the book onto a tablet and the kids read them that way. I don't mean for dyslexia books, just all books for your kid with dyslexia.

I have an 8y/o child with a learning disability. So far I have gotten 4 of the books in this series. He was impressed when we read this one that so many "smart" people have a LD.He is able to grasp the concepts very well, in this series of books, he sees similarities as well.During national reading week, I will be reading these books to the kids at the local Elementary school. Perhaps than the teachers will also pick up the books for their classrooms and in turn help the children achieve their potential as well.

Great book to read aloud to your class! My fourth grade students loved this book.

First the pictures - they are absolutely delightful, even on the Kindle.The book has some lovely little touches which a very bright listener will appreciate. The language is aimed at an intelligent over-9 to read to herself with help or for a smart over-7 to read and discuss with a parent or teacher (the latter being its real purpose).

This is a good idea - explaining how dyslexia does not have to limit your achievements but it is told in a rather workaday style - the child's voice is not convincing neither are the interactions between her and the adults. Nonetheless it could offer a starting point for a discussion with a child with dyslexia.

Just loved this book, dosent matter what degree of spelling, reading and writing you have this book is a bounty of knowledge and at the end of the day its no matter how smart you are is that you can do it. Loved the book, loved the graphics and loved the presentation
