La editorial Sandia Books estará presente en el congreso Iwordd promocionando su nuevo libro sobre la Dislexia. Sandia Books es una nueva editorial digital nacida en Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona) especializada en los trastornos del aprendizaje. Su primera publicación es un cuento interactivo para iPad y Android titulado "Las letras y yo. Un cuento sobre la dislexia" . Es un cuento ilustrado que explica cómo es este trastorno a través de los sentimientos de una niña que, por mucho que se esfuerza, no aprende las letras como sus compañeros. Incluye audio para facilitar la lectura del niño, y orientaciones para padres y educadores. También está indicado para logopedas, psicopedagogos, psicólogos y maestros.
En las primeras etapas educativas, las dificultades de aprendizaje pueden llegar a ser angustiantes y desconcertantes para los niños que las sufren y para los padres y educadores. Las autoras de este cuento -la madre de una niña disléxica y una logopeda- quieren aportar a través del relato sus vivencias y conocimientos para ayudar a los niños con dislexia y a sus familias.

Cognition recognition in the learning process.

Building better minds is part of the aim of education and cognitive science can help.
In this edition of Learning World we visit a specialist school in Paris to see how it can be useful particularly for people with learning disabilities.
In Spain, we visit a centre which is using the latest scientific techniques to understand how the brain works when reading, counting or learning a language.
And we hear from Paul Kelley, who raised more than a few eyebrows when he was a headteacher in north east England with unconventional 'spaced-learning' methods.
