This book is a wonderful window into the heart and mind of a little boy with dyslexia. It will be a fun read for any elementary school child and may foster compassion for classmates with this struggle. If you have a child with dyslexia I would certainly buy this to read immediately, it would be a run quiet reading book or one to read together!

This would make a great addition to any elementary classroom bookshelf or school library. The story is authentic and witty and addresses so many topics any child would understand.

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily read this book for review, giving my honest personal opinions and thoughts

As a teacher, this book gave me a small insight into what must be going on in a child's head with dyslexia. I think for me the story was quite powerful. My only bug bare was that I would have liked it to continue to see if he received any support. I think that the resources named after the story are an excellent idea though!

This book is perfect read for a child who is struggle with Dyslexia and needs to a laugh and humor that can something bring a child down. The book elementary age reading level but parents can read it to younger children.
Thank you to Netgalley and the polisher for a copy of Alais Winton Diary of a Dyslexic school Kid

I wish that I could have liked this book the concept is so wonderful, and I think its lovely they got a dyslexic student to co-author but I hated it.
Firstly there is no storyline... You can show day to day life without just listing pointless things one after the other. Diariy style books do still need an actual plot!!!
Additionally at times the book is simply wrong, it only briefly mentions any in school support, makes up exams year 7s don't have and his mum, despite knowing his needs seemingly gets annoyed with him anyway?
Also, although authored by someone who made a dyslexic activity book not ONE single technique on managing dyslexia is shared with the reader.
I found myself increasingly frustrated the longer I read. I spend the majority of my day supporting young people with various needs, including dyslexia and I would LOVE a relatable, informative diary book to use with students but there is no way I could use this one. So disappointed :(

I received a free ARC from NetGalley. Similar to Winkler's Hank Zipzer series-this book gives a voice to a child with dyslexia in a format similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
