Terrific Teddy and the b-d Mix-Up is a book to help parents and professionals explain dyslexia to children or explain reading difficulty to children. Together, you’ll meet Teddy – a great kid who’s discouraged because kids in his class seems to read and write better than he can. When his parents and teachers discover he’s dyslexic, they’re able to explain dyslexia to him and get him the help he needs to master reading, writing and learning. This book is designed for a parent, grandparent or teacher to read to a child. In doing so, you form a team designed to help a child learn and grow, despite his or her learning differences. In the book’s introduction, author and school psychologist Jim Forgan, PhD., explains how to discuss dyslexia and other learning differences with children in a way that’s hopeful and encouraging. The book has an optional ending that gives parents the choice to explain reading difficulty in general or use the term ‘dyslexia.’
