Dyslexia is a learning difference with its own challenges and strengths. Therefore, conventional study techniques do not always suit the dyslexic learner. This book will empower dyslexic students by giving them tools and strategies to thrive at school.
At School with Dyslexia will help students realise their potential, and that their often creative and innovative ways of seeing and learning can be used to their advantage. It will open up ways of learning and organising themselves that had not occurred to them before, and the reassuring tips and advice from fellow dyslexic learners in every chapter will convince them that they are capable, and it is possible to study and achieve as a dyslexic learner.
