Brian has dyslexia ISBN: 9781902463544
Fox, Woody and Leigh, Jenny
Published by Red Kite (Doctor Spot Case Book), 2004
Brian Bear isn't very well coordinated, confuses his right and left hands and has trouble reading and writing. Because he often has headaches, his mum takes him to see Doctor Spot. This leads to a session with Brian's teacher, Mrs Flamingo, and another with Mr Parrot, who tests him in various ways. A diagnosis of dyslexia follows, and Brian gets the support he needs. He is relieved to learn that he's 'not stupid after all'. This series of books gives quite detailed information in a style that is approachable and fun for children. The animal pictures are a treat, and 2 pages of advice for parents provide help and support.
