“This is an invaluable read for anyone trying to navigate the maze of dyslexia. The accessible, practical and light tone make this book highly readable with the case studies bringing the book to life.
“I particularly love all of the tips and strategies, and will be recommending this book to my clients and colleagues.”
Louise Scrivener

“The book speaks to you in an informative, accessible and friendly manner. It’s easy to understand yet not patronising. Definitely a toolbox ‘go-to’ book – very comprehensive.
“I also think people who are concerned their child has dyslexia should read this book first before they approach the child’s school or attend their educational psychologist assessment. To go to these meetings informed and armed will make these time-limited appointments far less frustrating and far more beneficial for everyone concerned.”
Cheryl Hunt
