Meet the Dyslexia Club!: The Amazing Talents, Skills and Everyday Life of Children with Dyslexia

If you're dyslexic, you might struggle with reading and spelling, writing neatly, or staying focused when people give you lots of instructions. This book shows how you can help yourself and how adults can help you. You will meet a group of dyslexic children who talk about their lives, what their schooldays are like and what they are great at. They will also let you know how grown-ups can help. You might recognize some of their strengths as things that you can do too.

Getting Glasses

"Four-eyes!" "Nerd!" These are just some of the mean things people say to kids with glasses. But did you know some of the smartest people to ever have lived all wore glasses? Glasses help many people read better and see far-away things better, too. Glasses can be a secret tool to being cool!

Students gain a deeper understanding of why continuously improving accessibility makes life better for everyone, empowering them to become accessibility champions.
