Brilliant Bea

Shaina Rudolph

Brilliant Bea is an endearing and empowering story that demonstrates that a learning difference like dyslexia doesn't define who you are.

Despite her struggles with reading and writing, Beatrice is a natural and brilliant storyteller. With the help of a kind-hearted teacher, Beatrice uses an old-fashioned tape recorder so she can speak her words and then play them back, as a technique for learning in a whole new way. With her new approach, Beatrice is able to show her classmates who she really has been all along.

This book is set in EasyReading, a dyslexia-friendly font.

Praise for this book

A child with dyslexia gains confidence in herself... Appropriately, said text is set in a readable, sans-serif type to support dyslexic readers who might encounter her story... Affirming and helpful.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
This book succeeds as a story about dyslexia not because the characters spout definitions of dyslexia, but rather because the story opens a window into the mind of one dyslexic child, Bea, and shows readers how adults can make a significant impact on the emotional state, and therefore the education, of children with learning differences... A heartwarming story that will expand the understanding of dyslexia for children and adults.-- "School Library Journal"
The teacher's supportive actions are wonderful to see, but even better is how the tape recorder helps Bea connect with her classmates. Printed in a dyslexia-friendly font, this affirming story about finding your feet and your voice is a lovely confidence booster for young readers, especially those who may learn differently.-- "Booklist"
