Recenzii
"Dr Plum Hutton has used her wealth of knowledge and experience of dyslexia to deliver a book which is informative but also amusing and captivating for children. Weaved throughout the story are the challenges faced by the hero who has dyslexia, but his strengths are highlighted as he saves the day! The accompanying guidebook provides helpful questions to challenge thinking in this area and offers valuable information about this specific difficulty."
Jane Jackson, Head of Learning Support, Dragon School
"It has been so refreshing to read such a clear explanation of the different aspects that make up the dyslexia concept. This is a gift to parents and schools who need a professional but easy-to-digest understanding of dyslexia. This understanding is then put into a living context, by the hilarious, imaginative and emotionally intuitive story about a child surmounting the barriers that dyslexia-type difficulties can cause. The activities that sit alongside the story make this ‘package’ a wonderful and pragmatic resource for parents and schools."
Caro Strover, Educational Psychologist
"I can honestly say I now know an awful lot more about dyslexia and the unique challenges it brings – it was a really interesting, accessible read and will be useful both personally and professionally. Thank you!"
Emma Judge, Parent
"A Nasty Dose of the Yawns is beautifully written, illustrating how difficult it can be for a child or young person living with dyslexia. The story is heart-warming, empathic and yet filled with humour. It provides subtleties of how adults can support a young person struggling to read and write, focus on their strengths and maintain confidence and self-esteem. The book appeals to school pupils and adults alike.
The supporting guide, which is evidenced-based, provides very useful and pragmatic strategies and guidelines on how best to support pupils who have dyslexia. The story and the supporting guide perfectly complement each other."
