A clear, reassuring guide that helps children understand what dyslexia really is – and feel confident in who they are and how they learn.

Different Thinkers: Dyslexia uses simple language and inviting illustrations to explain how the human brain develops, what it means to have dyslexia, how the condition can affect learning and emotional well-being, and how kids can meet challenges while building on their strengths.

Written for elementary-age children and their families, the book features three vignettes about children with dyslexia. Each vignette highlights common signs and characteristics of dyslexia and the different ways they can shape a child’s academic and social life. The book also introduces a range of practical strategies and supports to build language skills and confidence.

Thought-provoking prompts are woven throughout the text to help young readers better understand their learning difference, explore what it means to be a different thinker, and work through any insecurities or concerns they may have.

Different Thinkers: Dyslexia is an empowering read that gives children the information, facts, and encouragement they need to understand a dyslexia diagnosis – and a powerful reminder that how you learn does not limit what you can achieve or the success you can reach.
