How Rude!

Terrific book for teenagers needing social skills! Everything from guidance on receiving and giving gifts to romance and all the questions in-between your teenager wonâ€™t ask you.

The Dyslexic Advantage

I think that anyone with dyslexia or anyone with a child with dyslexia will find this book very helpful. Every teacher should read this Â book too.
It helps re-frame how we see dyslexia mind. It is very positive about potential of adults and children with dyslexia and it also talks the real challenges they face.
