Have you ever wished you could improve your reading, writing, spelling, maths, and your memory and learning skills? Well, try this. "Seeing Spells Achieving" takes you through a series of simple logical steps which build on each other to enable you or your children to visualise your way to success, developing skills you already possess. For 3 years, Olive Hickmott and Andrew Bendefy worked with children and adults in groups and privately. Some with learning difficulties and many of whom had dyslexic tendencies. Within hours considerable progress has been made and all ages have been amazed that they now have a new and exciting choice of 'how to' spell. "I can see every word that is being said and I can spell them too". "This is so easy, isn't it cheating?" "What I love about this is that it works. It is nothing like the way I have been taught before". "Being able to visualise is great and so useful for many things". Olive and Andrew have devised an easy to run, practise orientated model. Work on your own or with a parent, friend or teacher and allow yourself to break free from your own limiting beliefs on your abilities. You'll be amazed how quickly "Seeing Spells Achieving" enables you to look at things from a New Perspective - and enjoy a whole new world.

Review
"Seeing Spells Achieving has been written for those who struggle with words, and those who support them, such as parents or teachers. The writers claim that 100% of dyslexics do not use visualisation to see words. The book teaches visualisation which is a skill that is useful not only for spelling, but also for comprehension. Hickmott and Bendefy are both qualified in Neurolinguistic Programming. Dyslexia specialists have usually heard of the NLP spelling method which is based on how good spellers spell. This method is clearly explained and is a more efficient way of learning spelling than a laborious working through "the minefield of rules and counter rules" of the English language. Exercises to develop visual memory start with objects and then move on to individual words and text. These exercises are well structured and emphasise the same need for practice that any new skill requires before it becomes second nature. The book does more than work on visualisation skills. It uses techniques from NLP to help learners replace self-limiting beliefs with more positive thoughts. Exercises help learners to implement change and to become "unstuck" from feelings of failure and worthlessness about their previous learning. "Seeing Spells Achieving" is suitable for those who support dyslexics because its explanations are much more accessible than its title would indicate. It is particularly appropriate for use with those dyslexics who believe that they will never be able to spell". British Dyslexia Association Magazine.

This is the only book that everworked for me!,

This review is from: Dyslexia: Seeing Spells Achieving: Improve your spelling, reading, memory, dyslexic symptoms, in any language, by using your brain the way nature intended, through NLP and visualisation (Paperback)
I'm thirty-one years old and I have looked for ways of improving disadvantages at spelling and reading for years. I've found that this book gives me the mojo. For example, to test the techniques, I'd learned 190 of 205 words from GRE wordlist in two weeks. I'm not emblishing. This will help any child who cannot see the words they need to learn in their minds. For instances, like the word abnegation or apropos. I wish my parents had this book when I was in the third grade. It is so simple!
PS It was also very kind of the authors to be willing to talk to parents or students over the phone or by way of email about this great work on visualization.

Simply amazing!,
This review is from: Dyslexia: Seeing Spells Achieving: Improve your spelling, reading, memory, dyslexic symptoms, in any language, by using your brain the way nature intended, through NLP and visualisation (Paperback)
This little book explains in a very simple, easy way, how to learn to spell by visualising words. The exercises are well thought out, and lead naturally from one to another. It is fun to work through and a fantastic resource. I have helped several children to go from dreading spelling, and believing that they can't spell, to loving it and spelling words backwards in no time at all! It is incredible!
