Dyslexia is a learning difference which mainly affects reading and writing skills. However it does not only affect these skills. Dyslexia is actually about the way someone processes and remembers information that they see and hear.

This beautifully illustrated e-book created by Nessy will help give you a brief understanding of dyslexia: the positives, the difficulties and helpful strategies for children with dyslexia.

Written from a child's point of view, this e-book created by Nessy looks at the challenges faced by children with dyslexia in school but also the wide range of skills and talents that many dyslexics have. It is so important that all children find what they are good at and enjoy doing!
