A Dyslexic Writes
Come and meet the author of this new publication, Al Campbell.
A Dyslexic Writes is the first in a series of books to be published by Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre. Written by Al Campbell it is a rare thing – a book about dyslexia, written by a dyslexic from a dyslexic’s point of view. It has attracted much positive comment:
If you are seeking to understand the enigma of dyslexia from a personal viewpoint, I heartily recommend you read this!
Professor Angela Fawcett, Director Centre for Child Research and leading international researcher into dyslexia.
I like books that make me stop and think. I like books that are simply and clearly written. I like books that have something serious to say, but still make me laugh. I like books that make me feel that the author is chatting to me personally. I really like Al’s book.Patience Thomson, founder of specialist dyslexia publisher Barrington Stoke, co-editor of ‘Dyslexia: a multidisciplinary approach’ and author of the award-winning book ‘101 Ways to get your child to read’
I have often wished I could recommend a book that would give a short, accessible, positive overview of living with dyslexia – and here it is!Sheila Watson, Dyslexia Assessor
