When we had our assessment on Tuesday, I mentioned Harry still has little interest in picking up a book, but his reading was definitely improving. Our Specialist mentioned "Barrington Stoke" were good books for reluctant readers as they are short stories. When I looked into it, it turns out they are a publishing house that specialise in books for dyslexics. The books have:
- Cream or off-white paper which is more restful on the eye
- A font that encourages a smooth read
- Varied length of line to help readers keep their place
- Challenging yet familiar vocabulary with clear language structure
- Well-spaced text and short chapters
I got 3 from our local library and Harry is reading them keenly.
