Barrington Stoke book guide for kids with dyslexia
Publisher Barrington Stoke and charity Dyslexia Action will this month release a free guide to books for children with dyslexia or reading difficulties.
Dive In: A Guide to Choosing Children’s Books for Reluctant Readers and Readers With Dyslexia, lists 40 different titles and is aimed at encouraging children who struggle with reading to enjoy books. It replaces Dyslexia Action’s previous guide, published in 2008 in association with Waterstones.
“The 2008 edition was a bit out of date and we wanted to liven it up a bit,” said Helen Donovan, literacy programme manager at Dyslexia Action, pointing out that a there are now a lot more dyslexia-friendly books on the market. She has also widened out the guide’s remit to include children with different kinds of reading needs.
The books were chosen by Dyslexia Action and Barrington Stoke and divided into three categories: 5-8, 9-12 and teen.Baldacci wins Best International Fiction Book at Sharjah
