I purchased these books for my grandson as he has dyslexia and needed a bit of extra help keeping up with his class. They have been a huge help over the years.

  • Fiction, non-fiction and poetry from Roald Dahl, Mark Twain, Jacqueline Wilson, Emmeline Pankhurst and Shakespeare

Your child is somewhere in Years 3 to 6, and this is the reading practice that asks them to look harder at what a writer is doing.
