Living with dyslexia has been an uphill struggle, from the day I started school until the day I left to go to work and even after going to work, where I found that there where bullies in the workplace where they thought it was amusing that people could not spell. Join me on my journey as I recount being a child with dyslexia whilst living in poverty and trying to pick up odd jobs to help provide for my mother from the age of twelve. Whilst writing this book, I have left most of the spelling unchecked in the hopes it would give people an insight into the toils of living with dyslexia and a glimpse inside the way a dyslexic child sees the world. I ask you to read me, if you can.

If I can’t learn the way you teach, please teach me the way I can learn It is only when you read about real-life stories you want to believe that strategies work. The method suggested in Dyslexia Decoded have been tried and tested for more than two decades with different levels of difficulties, different students and a variety of situations. Processing information and using proper sound system results in learning differently, while styles of learning when incorporated in teaching, makes mild learning difficulties disappear. Emotional, social impacts of learning difficulties cannot be ignored as they cause greater harm than the difficulty itself. This book shows you just that and emphasizes the need to counsel students, teachers, parents and schools. Schools form a major part of children’s lives and when they take on the task of supporting the 10% of their population with specific learning difficulties they go beyond their own limitations and contribute a great deal to the lives of all children. A special school system is detrimental for children with specific learning difficulties even though it may seem to be the answer for other special needs. This book encourages schools to include students with specific learning difficulties, while guiding them to use the support which the Boards willingly give.
