Customer Reviews

Excellent resource for explaining dyslexia to your child.
I first came across this book four years ago and have since used it constantly as a starting point to explain dyslexia to parents and their child. The book is very short but filled with factual based material that explains the symptoms and effects of a learning difficulty in a very clear way. The text is matched by excellent illustrations and graphics and a dyslexic child will find it easy to follow and comprehend. Would stongly recommend it to parents and teachers as an excellent explanatory resource.

Brilliant!
I bought this book for my 7 year old daughter, who has recently been diagnosed with dyslexia. I was looking for a way to tell her that she had the condition without it sounding like a disease or making her feel stupid. This book deals with the different ways that children can be affected by dyslexia and puts it over in a child-friendly way. I felt the book was a good way in which to open up a conversation with her and talk about ways in which I could help her and she could help herself too.
I hope this helps anyone going throught the same thing!

Parental Review
An excellent book for anyone. This should be readily available in all schools, for children, parents and teachers. It explains in basic language the difficulties that dyslexics face, in a way that makes it understandable. I have ordered another which I hope to donate to my child's school.
