Recommended by Dyslexia Assessor Craig Keane, Director of Develop Us in Wales. "I'm a specialist dyslexia assessor and teacher. I was looking for a book to recommend to parents of children I assess and teach. I wasn't expecting to learn much from the book because I'm a specialist in this field. I was wrong! Beth presents interesting statistics about dyslexia and how it can impact people in society. She explores different ways you can explain dyslexia to anyone of any age using the octopus theory! I highly recommend this book to parents, teachers, specialists and anyone who would like to educate themselves about dyslexia!"  
"While reading this book, I have several "Ah ha!" moments that explain my child's behaviour. The book made me feel I had confided all my concerns to her, and she gave me answers. I read articles, research papers and other books, but none have really explained to me so well the many "whys?" and what I need to know about my child." Amazon review.
