Dyslexia Awareness Month: My Top 5 Books
I never really enjoyed reading when my friends at school started chomping through them. I never associated ‘book’ with ‘pleasure’ like my best friend at school who loved her Jane Austen books after watching the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It took me until I was 15 or 16 when I discovered Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at the library in school that I began to understand why people like reading a book. Now I have hundreds of them! I haven’t read them all mind you! A lot of them have been used for university studies and I will have only read a specific section of the book.
Here are a section of books that I have really enjoyed! Some of them I have read more than once!!! These books are perhaps aimed more towards teenage and adult audiences, so if you’re looking for books for your dyslexic kids to read, they won’t be suitable on the whole. Read the rest of this entry

Dyslexia Awareness Month: October 2014
Next month is Dyslexia Awareness Month!!! I will warn you all now that my blog may go a little bit crazy with postings to try to help people to understand exactly what it is to be dyslexic. Like my #blogging4charity, I want to spell out what dyslexia means! And this is where you guys come in!
Below is a form where you can choose a letter you would like to talk about. It could be that for you ‘L is for Left’ because you struggle between telling between left and right, or it could be ‘A is for Attention Span’ because you struggle to stay focused in class at school. Make it something that you feel best describes your dyslexia (you can even fill the form in more than once) and at the end of October I will post up all your different responses!
So let us join together to tell the world what dyslexia REALLY means!
