Dyslexia by Paula Wiltshire
It is thought that 8-10 per cent of people have dyslexia, and it can have a devastating effect on their everyday life. This book looks at what causes dyslexia, how it is diagnosed, and how it affects reading, writing, spelling and other areas, such as maths, music and organizational skills. Throughout, people with dyslexia share their experiences of overcoming the problems they have had.
