Summary: Presents a unique visual approach to academic writing and composition tailored to the needs of dyslexic students in higher education. It will help them to successfully structure and articulate their ideas, get to grips with critical reading, thinking and writing and fulfil their full academic potential. The 'writing process' (e.g. understanding the assignment task, genre and style, researching, writing, sentence construction and proofreading/editing) is de-mystified and translated into innovative, meaningful visual representations in the form of templates, images, icons and prompts, designed to meet the visual and 'big picture' learning styles of dyslexic students.
