Written in Jackie French's inimitable style, on of the aims of this book is to help parents and teachers identify children's reading difficulties and then suggest ways to deal with them. The book is full of useful and practical solutions, rather than long, dense paragraphs dripping with educational theory and difficult words that are hard to pronounce. Jackie draws on her own experience of being dyslexic to show that there are many fun and rewarding ways to improve your child's reading abilities and stimulate a love of books.
