There are four main purposes of this series of books, that:

• more dyslexic/ SpLD people recognise the wide range of their experience and feel comfortable to tell their stories
• non-dyslexic/ SpLD people are more knowledgeable as they listen to the stories
• processing skills need to be taught deliberately and openly
• the educational practices that are VITAL for dyslexic/ SpLDs are recognised as good for all and therefore included in mainstream education.
