What it Says on the Back of the Book The exciting learning programme that gives pre-school children a head start At no time in their lives do children learn more rapidly and intensively than during the first five years. The progress they make then, and the help they are given, will influence their development throughout the rest of their school years. Before Alpha, written by one of the pioneers in the field of dyslexia, presents an enjoyable, carefully structured programme of games, activities, songs and stories originally devised to help children with specific learning difficulties to acquire language skills, but which have proved to be enormously beneficial to all pre-school children. First published in 1989, it has now been revised in the light of new discoveries and research.

They will also be far better equipped than their peers to profit from the education they receive at school.
