Press Reviews
Victoria Honeybourne, Specialist teacher and author of 'Finding Joy In Studying'.
With vibrant illustrations, the Mission Dyslexia books are narrated by engaging characters who encourage readers to gain self-awareness, uncover their strengths and increase their resilience. Positive, practical and to be recommended to all dyslexic young people wanting to take the driving seat in their learning journey.
Margaret Rooke, author of 'Meet the Dyslexia Club! The Amazing Skills, Talents and Everyday Life of Children with Dyslexia' and 'Dyslexia is My Superpower (Most of the Time)'
Julie and Paul McNeill together with Rossie Stone, show children with dyslexia how to overcome their obstacles. On these pages you'll find solutions to some of the difficulties you face - by building your strengths, gaining support, creating a team around you, and never giving up. As Persisto says, none of us can lift that heavy rock on our own. Here's how we can do it together. Such a supportive and useful book.
Elizabeth Reece, Primary Head of Learning Support, St George's International School, Cologne, Germany
Persisto talks directly to young dyslexic people. The challenges he describes will have many young readers nodding in recognition and eagerly grasping the strategies Persisto uses to overcome these. A book to turn to for inspiration and solutions.
