"I
have just placed an order for sets 1 and 2 of SWAP gamz as I think they are
brilliant!!!
I
have started training with the Dyslexia Institute and they use them all the
time. I also work in a school as an S E N teacher and have ordered the two
sets to use with the kids there.
My
school has an inspection after half term and I would love to show these off to
the inspectors. Can you therefore send my order urgently, please."
