This engaging book encourages children with dyslexia to embrace their unique strengths while providing practical strategies for overcoming challenges. Mission Dyslexia is a valuable resource for self-discovery.
Meet Creatia, Persisto, and Willforce, three vibrant characters who embody the strengths that dyslexia can bring into one's life. These superheroes encourage children to embrace their unique skills and talents, fostering confidence while they confront the villain Mr. Dyspicibilia. Through engaging narratives, Mission Dyslexia aims to empower young readers to see their dyslexia not as a limitation, but as a source of creativity and strength.
This interactive resource is designed for both children and adults to explore together. With a variety of drawing and writing activities, Mission Dyslexia opens up valuable discussions that lead to practical solutions. The book prioritizes the self-esteem and self-understanding of dyslexic children, providing strategies that are illustrated through the adventures of the three superheroes. These characters help children develop their unique strengths to navigate everyday challenges related to reading, writing, organization, and time management.
Colorful illustrations and engaging dialogue throughout Mission Dyslexia encourage children to articulate their feelings, identify obstacles, and recognize their inherent strengths. This fun and informative book serves as a supportive tool for children aged 7-11, helping them to cultivate their own learning strategies through self-awareness and understanding, ultimately enhancing their confidence and resilience in the face of challenges.
I love this book, written by people with first-hand experience of dyslexia. This interactive and colourful book explores challenges faced by dyslexics and positive traits in equal measure. The 'chatty' style and layout will make it easier for young dyslexics to read and enjoy. -- Alais Winton, author of 'Diary of a Dyslexic School Kid' and 'Fun Games and Activities for Children with Dyslexia'
Such a useful book, carefully created to keep children with dyslexia engaged, help them stand up for themselves, and work out all the ways they excel. -- Margaret Rooke, author of 'Dyslexia is my Superpower (Most of the Time)'
In a well-presented workbook format, Mission Dyslexia combines inspiring messages about the strengths of dyslexia with opportunities for children to identify their own superpowers to defeat dyslexia challenges. Three cartoon superheroes, imaginatively illustrated by a dyslexic cartoonist, form a supportive team for young readers to build up their positives before the villain, Mr. D, is introduced. An incredibly useful resource for all dyslexic children and the grown-ups who support them in their dyslexia journey. -- Cathy Magee, chief executive of Dyslexia Scotland
