Information
We carry books that are edited and designed to minimise some of the obstacles that can stop reluctant, struggling and dyslexic young readers from getting hooked by a book.
Tricks to make the books accessible include:
- Short word lengths so readers can enjoy the achievement of finishing a book
- Lots of chapter breaks so readers can take a rest
- Cream-coloured paper to minimises glare
- Dyslexia-friendly fonts
- Lots of illustration in lower reading-age titles to help with understanding
- Age (RA) and interest age (IA) ratings on the books date label to help you choose
Research shows that once a reader is hooked by a story, reading ability improves.
