"Al Campbell brings a light touch to what is, for many people, a complex and confusing subject. He claims to write this essay mainly for the parents of dyslexic children, and it will certainly give many parents an increased confidence in dealing with their own child’s strengths and weaknesses. However I think it will speak loudest to the many adult dyslexics who have struggled to come to terms with their difficulties, unsure of the underlying causes and perhaps lacking the confidence to ask for explanations and answers.

I have often wished I could recommend a book that would give a short, accessible, positive overview of living with dyslexia — and here it is!"
Sheila Watson, Specialist Dyslexia Assessor.
