Editor reviews

Narrator Martin Blum's steady, even-tempered performance gives listeners ample time to understand the terms and explanations in this informative and accessible introduction to dyslexia. Dr. Nicola Brunswick, a trustee of the British Dyslexia Association, conducts research in the areas of reading and developmental dyslexia, and she has distilled her work into a useful resource for listeners interested in discovering more about this learning disorder. Dr. Brunswick provides psychological facts about dyslexia which even professionals may find surprising. Blum gives appropriate emphasis to the reassuring tone of this resource - listeners will find comfort and hope from Dr. Brunswick's suggestions on managing this disorder.

Critic reviews

"Let me guess. You know someone who might be dyslexic. And you're wondering if he or she can be helped. Here's the good news: the answer is Yes. Most dyslexic people can learn to read and write normally. The details are here in Dr Nicola Brunswick's informative book. She will tell you what dyslexia means, what we know about it, and – most importantly – what can be done.” (Ken Follett)
“Clearly written and accessible. Nicky Brunswick's book provides the perfect introduction to this life-long and challenging condition.” (Usha Goswami – Director of the Centre for Neuroscience in Education, University of Cambridge)
“Even if you are not a beginner in the field, you will learn essential and often surprising psychological facts about reading and reading difficulties.” (Uta Frith – Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London)

very insightful

very structured approach at the back of the book for teacher and tutors to use as a guide for teaching and supporting students. Also, they would have a much better understanding of dyslexia and the they difficulties they have with read and comprehension.
