Self-Help
I am the author of, The self-help guide for teens with dyslexia. A book for young people to help them manage their skills in a way which best suits them to get the most out of learning. This is a must-read pocket guide for students with dyslexia aged 11 to 18, and will also be a helpful source of ideas for teachers, SENCOs and parents of teens with dyslexia.

Fun Games and Activities for Children with Dyslexia
My book Fun Games and Activities for Children with Dyslexia was published in March 2018. An inventive and practical book for children aged 7 to 13 who have been identified as having dyslexic tendencies, this book contains practical and creative activities for kids and teens to use, such as Spelling Sculptures and Hear it, Sing it, Beat it! The games and activities use the four different learning styles that work best with dyslexics - thinking in pictures, in movement, in music or socially.
Diary of a Dyslexic School Kid
My latest book is Diary of a Dyslexic School Kid. This positive and relatable diary of a dyslexic teen covers school life, bullying, tests and homework, with warmth, humour and insight. Based on the authors' real-life experiences, it shows kids and young teens with dyslexia that they are far from alone in their experiences.
