A new free resource book on dyslexia is available. Although written mainly for adults who have dyslexia it may be of interest to a more general audience that includes parents of children with dyslexia.
Written anonymously by an adult who has dyslexia it takes a holistic approach to reading. It describes skills, alternative formats (large print sources, audio source, audiobook sources etc.) and dyslexia friendly options, Also, it considers why an adult might want to engage with books (benefits, strategies), the position regarding copyright and more.
The resource uses a font that is readable with good size and line spacing and sections that are split into manageable chunks. A 3-page synopsis is included as an Appendix.
