Overview

Just because the short-term memory is failing, doesn't mean that people suffering from different forms of dementia don't like to talk. They do. The secret to a good conversation with a person who suffers from Alzheimer's is to talk about things they do remember. This often takes them back decades, to their youth. Read a Bit! Talk a Bit! is a series of activity books specifically designed to get a good dialogue going with people who suffer from dementia and Alzheimer's. Each book is written in large type and starts with a short article on the subject, and is followed by 15-20 questions for the group leader to ask and discuss with the participants. Read a Bit, Talk a Bit, has a wide variety of subjects to cover interests of both genders. All books can be used with groups or one-on-one. The books are self-explanatory and can be used by carers as well as professionals.

They commenced this series of books, so far having completed 15, each designed to engage the participants in conversation and encourage personal and meaningful reminiscences and discussions to follow."
