Dyslexia story

Sam is a very special little boy who happens to have difficulties with reading and writing.

Sam’s Trouble With Words, by Lorna Miles, is aimed at helping children understand about dyslexia.

There are around 374,000 schoolchildren in the UK affected by the condition.

Although written with adopted and fostered children in mind, this colourfully-illustrated guide will help any child affected by dyslexia.

It is also a great resource to give brothers, sisters and classmates an insight into the condition and can help them have more understanding about their friends and siblings who have trouble with reading and writing.

Written as an easy and accessible story aimed at children aged seven to 11 years old, the book includes a useful ‘questions and answers’ section to help adults and children to be able to explore the issue further, together.

Sam’s Trouble With Words is part of a set of helpful guides.

All these books – and many resources for children, parents and carers – are available at www.baaf.org.uk.
