Book Synopsis

Your golden ticket to the knowledge and tools needed to support your dyslexic children

With an estimated 1 in 10 children in the UK having dyslexia, getting the right support should be straightforward. Instead, it's a postcode lottery, influenced by how knowledgeable an individual school and its teachers are, the amount of funding the school receives and whether local authorities offer specialist services for dyslexia.

As a late-diagnosed dyslexic, teacher and dyslexia assessor, Jo Rees finally gives you a chance to level the playing field by sharing all the knowledge and tools she has learnt along the way. Whether you are seeking adjustments at school or building supportive routines at home, this book offers clear, actionable guidance to ensure your child experiences success and confidence at every stage of their education.

Grounded in the latest research, each chapter offers anecdotes, FAQs and practical steps for how to advocate for your child. It is about time that you feel empowered to make informed decisions that align with your gut instincts, giving both yourself and your child a voice.
