My family will forever be grateful for her teaching techniques, and her heart for empowering her students for life.

Brilliant Strengths offers guidance for educators to create sustainable connections that impact social and educational stamina. This is a resource that I will recommend to teachers working with students with dyslexia that are expressing frustration in the classroom.”

“Brilliant Strengths impacts students with dyslexia by providing them with opportunities and tools to discover their strengths, which in turn empowers them to be more self-aware, self-advocate for their needs, and lower their anxiety about challenges.
Nicki has provided students & educators with such a gift by creating Brilliant Strengths!”

What an excellent resource! As a children’s librarian and as the mother of a dyslexic child, I appreciate Brilliant Strengths by Nicki Winter on multiple levels. As a librarian, I clearly see the emergent literacy tools at work. I greatly appreciate book tie-ins that are presented in such an engaging way.
As a mom, it’s important to me that Brilliant Strengths acknowledges and addresses the accompanying self-esteem and anxiety issues, both of which my child experienced. The combination of literacy techniques and emotional support makes this book an invaluable tool. I’d even call it…BRILLIANT!
