The aim of this book is to provide an explanation of dyslexia and is intended to be read by the parent to the child and be used to discuss the content together after an assessment and diagnosis has been made... the book is informative in an accessible way and with a "common sense" and positive approach throughout... I would recommend this book highly to parents as well as to SENCOs and specialist teachers as it could be a very empowering read for the child as many children are left with unanswered questions for years after a diagnosis has been made, or are even unaware of the fact that a diagnosis has been made. This book would serve well to close that gap and answer those questions.
