Beth Beamish has an unusual take on dyslexia - she sees it as an octopus! The eight arms represent the potential areas of dyslexic difficulty: reading, listening, spelling, writing, memory, motor control, spatial awareness, and the frequently overlooked health and social challenges. Beth's book, Dyslexia. Wrestling with an Octopus covers the tips she learned while helping her dyslexic son to read and spell.
