Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"This very practical and helpful manual focuses on the learning difficulties that come under the umbrella notion of what is generally regarded as Dyslexia. The author examines why such difficulties are so common in our schools - right around the English-speaking world - and before giving parents and teachers insights as to how to work usefully with these children, demonstrates what the world is like from the inside for these children. He looks at how these children think, at how they understand the world, at the impact on their behaviour, and at what life is like for them on the inside. He includes a biographical section which includes some of his own personal experiences as a dyslexic child. In clarifying the fundamental differences between linguistic and pictorial thinking styles, and the consequential connection between learning difficulty and behaviour problems, this book opens the way for parents and teachers to reach, and therefore to effectively teach so-called reluctant learners."--Publisher's description.Slow learn
