Meet Positive Persisto, your superhero guide to persistence and self-esteem!

This fun and colourful activity book shows you how to stay positive and bounce back from the challenges that dyslexia throws at you. Persisto will help you find out what resilience and a growth mindset really mean, and how to use teamwork and self-belief to keep focused on what you're really good at.

Dyslexia can be tough, especially when it feels like other people can do stuff that's tricky for you. It's really important to build up strong self-esteem from the inside, so you can remember what's great about you and use it to beat challenges. Persisto even has some great ideas for how grownups can help, including in those times when you don't want everyone to know you need a bit of a hand. With tips on everything from building your team to working out new ways to look at problems, Persisto's got your back!
