Critic Reviews

"Let me guess. You know someone who might be dyslexic. And you're wondering if he or she can be helped. Here's the good news: the answer is Yes. Most dyslexic people can learn to read and write normally. The details are here in Dr Nicola Brunswick's informative book. She will tell you what dyslexia means, what we know about it, and – most importantly – what can be done.” (Ken Follett)
“Clearly written and accessible. Nicky Brunswick's book provides the perfect introduction to this life-long and challenging condition.” (Usha Goswami – Director of the Centre for Neuroscience in Education, University of Cambridge)
“Even if you are not a beginner in the field, you will learn essential and often surprising psychological facts about reading and reading difficulties.” (Uta Frith – Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London)
