5 This book is dedicated to those children, families, and educational professionals who overcome the challenges associated with dyslexia. We hope that this book contributes to the well-being of both students and professionals who deal with this learning challenge. And to the memory of my mother, Doris Maxine Jenkins Fuller. May all my deeds honor her memory. CC the ones I love. JD Christine who inspires me and reminds me of the importance of my efforts. SEB

6 Acknowledgments As with any project of this magnitude, we believe it important to acknowledge the contributions of the individuals who have influenced our efforts. First, the authors are grateful for the collaboration with colleagues. Dr. Christo would like to particularly acknowledge Jack Davis for all the wonderful conversations about reading that serve to continually enlighten her and inspire her interest in the topic and those students who struggle with learning to read. Dr. Davis would like to give special thanks to all his friends and colleagues at the Raskob Institute for helping him learn what dyslexia is all about. He would like to give an extra special thanks to Mrs. Helen Nelson who managed to grind this information into his semiresistant brain. Dr. Brock would like to acknowledge Catherine Christo for her years of rewarding collaboration and helpful consultations regarding children with reading disabilities and Jack Davis for his mentorship. Finally, we collectively acknowledge the many scholars who have contributed to the science that provides the foundation for the information presented in this book; previous and future scholarship is essential to continue to advance our understanding of the multifaceted influences and interventions associated with dyslexia. We would like to particularly acknowledge Carl Spring for sparking our interest with his pioneering work in the field of reading disabilities. vii
