I found this Book, Visual Perception Skills for Children with Dyslexia | PART 2: Visual Figure-Ground Perception, to be very informative. The activities are great - colourful, diverse, targeting specific areas of dyslexia. I am using some of the activities with some students to try to assist them in their learning journey. Even being aware of the different aspects of Dyslexia has been an eye opener to me. I have also bought Part 1 and used some of the activities in it. Great resource!

Thank you for taking the time to write this review! We highly appreciate your detailed positive feedback and are very pleased to hear that you have found this resource helpful!
