The Amazing Skills, Talents and Everyday Life of Children with Dyslexia' and 'Dyslexia is My Superpower (Most of the Time)'
Persisto talks directly to young dyslexic people. The challenges he describes will have many young readers nodding in recognition and eagerly grasping the strategies Persisto uses to overcome these.
