Bea used to stay in a lot at recess because she hadn't finished her work. She had trouble expressing herself with writing because she struggles with dyslexia. One day her teacher tells her she is brilliant and creative, and gives her an accommodation - the help of a cassette recorder so she can tell her stories instead of writing them. Soon, lots of the children on the playground are listening to Bea's brilliant stories during recess. 

I loved that her teacher figured out a way to let Bea shine! Her stories were wonderful - I would love to sit in the grass and listen to imaginative Bea. Magination has included some great reader's notes that include what Dyslexia is, symptoms, treatment and how to find out if your child has dyslexia.
