What does it mean to have dyslexia ISBN: 9780431139364
Spilsbury, Louise
Published by Heinemann (What Does It Mean To Be/Have series), 2002
Particular emphasis here on all the specialist equipment available for children assessed as having dyslexia - computers and special programmes, wooden letters for feeling as well as seeing, talking books and specially written stories. Good explanations of what dyslexia is, ways a person might be dyslexic and what it can be like. We learn about help at school and meet three children with dyslexia and hear how they cope. Very positive. A glossary, index, list of books and another list of organizations giving their websites will prove useful.
