A mother has written a book to help parents and children better understand dyslexia following her own daughter's diagnosis.
Dawn Crowle, from Chippenham in Wiltshire, noticed her nine-year-old daughter Sophie struggled with school work while she was being home-schooled during the Covid lockdown.
When Sophie received her diagnosis, at the age of seven, she did not fully understand what the condition was, which prompted Ms Crowle to collaborate with her friend, Rhiannon Jones, to write Sophie's Superpower.
Ms Crowle said the book makes Sophie "beam from ear-to-ear", adding she hopes to raise more awareness of the condition.
Dyslexia is a common condition that mainly causes problems with reading, writing and spelling.
