Mission Dyslexia

I love this book, written by people with first-hand experience of dyslexia. This interactive and colourful book explores challenges faced by dyslexics and positive traits in equal measure. The ‘chatty’ style and layout will make it easier for young dyslexics to read and enjoy. – Alais Winton, author of ‘Diary of a Dyslexic School Kid’ and ‘Fun Games and Activities for Children with Dyslexia’Such a useful book, carefully created to keep children with dyslexia engaged, help them stand up for themselves, and work out all the ways they excel. – Margaret Rooke, author of ‘Dyslexia is my Superpower (Most of the Time)’In a well-presented workbook format, Mission Dyslexia combines inspiring messages about the strengths of dyslexia with opportunities for children to identify their own superpowers to defeat dyslexia challenges. Three cartoon superheroes, imaginatively illustrated by a dyslexic cartoonist, form a supportive team for young readers to build up their positives before the villain, Mr. D, is introduced. An incredibly useful resource for all dyslexic children and the grown-ups who support them in their dyslexia journey. – Cathy Magee, chief executive of Dyslexia Scotland
