“This booklet is aimed at parents of dyslexics but will prove equally helpful to the classroom teacher as well as to dyslexics themselves.” says Brother Matthew Sasse a SpLD / Dyslexia Consultant and Tutor in the BDA Dyslexia Contact magazine. It was first published by CALSC- Communication and Learning Skills Centre in 1996. Jane Mitchell, the author, says “I have now made the booklet available over the internet for people to print for themselves.” Brother Matthew also said: “The analogies used are so familiar that the reader soon begins to feel at home with the subject – above all a reader-friendly booklet. The illustrations, both humerous and uncomplicated, added to the attractiveness of Jane’s explanation of dyslexia. Jane’s whole approach to the subject is positive and constructive; elsewhere we tend to hear so much about the problems dyslexics are faced with, whereas this booklet sets out to provide pointers to possible ways forward which the parents of dyslexics may adopt. The attitude of dyslexics, their parents and their teachers, can and must be changed. Dyslexics need help and advice from many people, but advice needs to be followed. Jane covers areas like disabilities / differences, attitudes to dyslexia, a variety of specialist help, practice and success, planning ahead, the most suitable method of tuition, short-term and long-term memory and accessing information. This booklet provides eminently practical advice for both dyslexics, their parents and their teachers.” Please credit the author if you make bits or the whole of this booklet available to your pupils or students.
