The Way I Learned: Academic Strategies for Regular and Special Education is a collection of different learning techniques from the point of view of a dyslexic. The subjects are described so that students in both elementary general education and those with learning disabilities can understand English language arts, reading and writing, and different types of math, from addition to algebra and geometry, in a new way. The stories and descriptions within give the readers advantages and understandings that Walt Biddick used to be successful. Finally, there is a book written by a student who knew academic hardships and who created interventions to succeed because he was tired of failure.
