Table of ContentsReviewsOn every page, one is assured of Sarah Myhill's first-hand knowledge and experience of the concerns of the dyslexic student through her ability to put herself in the shoes of the reader. There is much in this book which will be beneficial for all students, whether neurodivergent or not. The use of time is a central theme of the book and one which is addressed through suggestions of ways to prioritise and set goals. The use of student tips and practical ideas, such as mobile phone apps, offer current and engaging advice to help with the struggle of procrastination, fear of writing and problems with concentration. There are also spaces provided for students to reflect and make handwritten notes in the book, creating a personal journal and record of learning that can be referred to, along with a helpful and succinct glossary. Overall, as a non-dyslexic university lecturer, I have discovered through reading this book that there is much I can learn from my dyslexic students and colleagues about their approach to thinking, learning, approaching and depicting problems. -- Dr Sarah Evans-Howe MCIM Author InformationSarah Myhill is a Specialist Dyslexia Tutor and Lecturer at the University of Buckingham. She is a qualified architect and lighting designer but had a career change in 2015 due to some vision problems and achieved a postgraduate qualification in Language, Literacies and Dyslexia in Higher Education from University of Birmingham. She also holds Associate Membership of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA FE/HE) and is part of a working group carrying out research for the Executive Committee of the Association of Dyslexia Specialists in Higher Education (ADSHE). She has brought her creativity and visual training to bear on her current role by avidly researching a wide range of evidenced-based strategies and presenting them to students in a visual and dynamic way, mostly in the form of workshops, delivered 1:1 or to groups. With experience Sarah has seen what techniques really work and condensed the information into digestible strategies that are easily absorbed and put into practice to help students achieve their academic potential.
