What makes this book so unique and something that families with teenagers with dyslexia should seek out and read? One feature that particularly appealed to me was the handy tips provided at the end of each chapter. if you're seeking inspiring content to help you realise the potential of a teenager with dyslexia I cannot recommend this too highly.
