An award-winning Pembrokeshire author will be signing copies of her second book at Haverfordwest's Victoria Bookshop later this month.

Alais Winton won a gold award in the 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards for her first book The Self-Help Guide for Teens with Dyslexia; Useful Stuff You May Not Learn at School.

Such was the popularity of the book, it was even translated into Italian, that London-based publishing house, Jessica Kingsley Publishers approached her to write another.

Fun Games and Activities for Children with Dyslexia; How to Learn Smarter with a Dyslexic Brain is aimed at children aged from seven to 13 who have been identified as having dyslexic tendencies.

Private tutor Alais has devised and collated techniques to help dyslexic learners in their schooling.

Alais was diagnosed with dyslexia during her second year in university. In school she struggled with reading and writing still remembers being punished for doing badly in a spelling test.

Decades later Alais became went on to become a successful lecturer at Pembrokeshire College, even teaching teachers on the college's PGCE.

Alais' new book contains practical and creative activities for dyslexic learners, such as spelling sculptures and hear it, sing it, beat it.

Illustrated with funny cartoons by local artist Joe Salerno, which appeal to visual thinkers, the activities use the four different learning styles that work best with dyslexics; thinking in pictures, movement, in music or socially.

"These are strategies that I have picked up over the last 20 years," said Alais.

"Because I'm dyslexic myself, because I'm a teacher and because I love learning, I have changed my strategies on how I deal with things."

The book also has a section on how parents and guardians can help learning at home.

Fun Games and Activities will be released on March 21 and has been lauded by columnist and writer Margaret Rooke as;

"A book that makes you wish Alais Winton was your own personal teacher. She draws ideas from the energy and creativity of the children she works with and provides us with clever, inspiring ways."

Alais will be signing copies of Fun Games and Activities for Children with Dyslexia at Victoria Bookshop Haverfordwest, on March 31st between 11.30am and 2pm.
