Author visits practice to mark National Dyslexia Awareness Week

Children's author and illustrator Simon Bartram (centre) visited Andrew Scott (left) and Roger Smyth of Andrew and Rogers Optometrists, Beverley, East Yorkshire, to mark National Dyslexia Awareness Week early last month.

He presented several illustrations and personalised copies of his Man on the Moon books, which are part of the national curriculum on space exploration.

Optometrist Smyth said: ‘Simon’s books have such great illustrations, and are really colourful, making them a perfect focus to help reluctant or dyslexic readers to get engaged with literature.’

Andrew and Rogers Optometrists specialises in precision tints to help individuals who suffer from dyslexia and visual stress, and works with the University of Hull and schools and colleges to support dyslexic students.
