Review
I wish this book had been around 25 years ago when my son was first diagnosed and struggling to understand what dyslexia was. --A Parent
Tom s Special Talent will help younger children to understand dyslexia. It balances the reading and writing difficulties caused by dyslexia with recognition of the many other strengths and talents which people with dyslexia have --Rosie Bissett, Dyslexia Association
My daughter thinks that Tom's story is very good because it explains that they don't have to be good at everything in School. She said she identified liking the art and music and other things but didn't like the part of the day that had reading and writing. She loved the illustrations in the book too. She also thought that this would be a good book to give to teachers to read out to the class to explain what it was like for her to be a child with dyslexia. As for me I thought it was well written, beautifully executed illustrations and also at a level for most children my daughter s age to understand. I felt also that it is a book that should be in every school to help explain to children that everyone is different and that with help they can achieve whatever they wanted from life. --A Parent

Product Description
Tom isn t sure if he has any talents at all when he sees how good his friends are at writing and reading. But a school competition soon helps him to find his own very special talent ! Children with Dyslexia or a learning difficulty often find school a daunting and sometimes terrifying daily task. In an environment where certain skills, like writing and reading, are praised and highlighted more than others, it is important for children to recognise that everyone has a 'special talent' of their own. It encourages other children to be mindful of the differences that exist between their friends and classmates and to be aware that all children, regardless of their talents, learn differently.

This book is not only a great booster for children who are dyslexic, but also a great tool to help introduce the topic to their friends, family or classmates that dont understand what dyslexia is and what the child is experiencing. A great story and beautiful illustrations too.

Tom's special talent
14 July 2011
Format:Paperback
This book is beautifully illustrated and explains dyslexia in a way that children can really relate to and understand. Highly recommend this for a child who has just been diagnosed or indeed for their friends/family to help introduce and understand dyslexia and what the child is going through.
