This film shows what's really happening in a dyslexic mind, and what helps.

"I wish I knew then what I know now..." That's what parents say and what we hear from educators too, after finally understanding how the dyslexic mind actually works.

One man in the film remembers studying for 10 hours with his mum for a 20-word spelling test, and getting only two right.

Your child isn't behind because they're not trying.
They're a picture-thinker in a word-thinking system.
