Miniseries of three write-in activity books for dyslexic kids from the Mission Dyslexia team
Join Persisto the positivity and persistence hero in a journey to build your self-esteem! Packed with fun activities and handy hints, this workbook will help you build your own team and keep positive when dyslexia makes things tough.
Meet Positive Persisto, your superhero guide to persistence and self-esteem!
This fun and colourful activity book shows you how to stay positive and bounce back from the challenges that dyslexia throws at you. Persisto will help you find out what resilience and a growth mindset really mean, and how to use teamwork and self-belief to keep focused on what you're really good at.
Dyslexia can be tough, especially when it feels like other people can do stuff that's tricky for you. It's really important to build up strong self-esteem from the inside, so you can remember what's great about you and use it to beat challenges. Persisto even has some great ideas for how grownups can help, including in those times when you don't want everyone to know you need a bit of a hand. With tips on everything from building your team to working out new ways to look at problems, Persisto's got your back!
With vibrant illustrations, the Mission Dyslexia books are narrated by engaging characters who encourage readers to gain self-awareness, uncover their strengths and increase their resilience. Positive, practical and to be recommended to all dyslexic young people wanting to take the driving seat in their learning journey. -- Victoria Honeybourne, Specialist teacher and author of 'Finding Joy In Studying'.
Julie and Paul McNeill together with Rossie Stone, show children with dyslexia how to overcome their obstacles. On these pages you'll find solutions to some of the difficulties you face - by building your strengths, gaining support, creating a team around you, and never giving up. As Persisto says, none of us can lift that heavy rock on our own. Here's how we can do it together. Such a supportive and useful book. -- Margaret Rooke, author of 'Meet the Dyslexia Club! The Amazing Skills, Talents and Everyday Life of Children with Dyslexia' and 'Dyslexia is My Superpower (Most of the Time)'
Persisto talks directly to young dyslexic people. The challenges he describes will have many young readers nodding in recognition and eagerly grasping the strategies Persisto uses to overcome these. A book to turn to for inspiration and solutions. -- Elizabeth Reece, Primary Head of Learning Support, St George's International School, Cologne, Germany
