1. What the critics say.

The Australian, Mary 12, 1987
...a teaching system that can be used by trained teachers or by parents to get the dyslexic child 'up to scratch'.

The Courier-Mail, June 20, 1984.
Her books are designed so that an able reader can assist a person with a learning difficulty by following the instructions laid out at the beginning of each book, reading with the dyslectic and helping when encounters something he cannot understand. By printing the letters in large type, Mrs Alexander has aimed at overcoming the perception difficulty from which most dyslectics suffer. (By Leisa Scott)

The Courier-Mail, June 20, 1984
The books are big, bold and beautiful with attractive shiny, gold covers. (By Leisa Scott)

The S.A. Teachers Journal, May 9, 1984.
The book is one of a series written specifically for remedial teaching. It is this very difference which may attract readers with learning disabilities who may be bored with the content of books available.

The S.A. Teachers Journal, May 9, 1984.
Throught her painstaking research, which started nine years ago, Christina decided the best way to help dyslectics was to play and beat them at their own game.

The Sydney Morning Herald, March 6, 1982.
'Dave' was one of Christina Alexander's best pupils. He was 19 and had just dropped out of a university science course. Physics and maths were his best subjects, but when it came to spelling and writing essays he was hopeless. Dave, like the rest of Mrs Alexander's students, is dyslectic. (Andrew Stone)

New Idea, November 13, 1982
Remedial teacher Christina Alexander has used her vivid imagination and skill as a writer to produce a series of books which is bringing new hope to Australians who suffer from dyslexia.

The Sunday Mail, June 20, 1982
America wants them. So does South Africa, New Zealand, New Guinea, Britain and Australia as well.
