my dyslexic dd who hates reading has found some books she LOVES


Recommended Posts

She has been reading at grade level since 5th grade, but she still didn't enjoy reading and didn't read very much at all.

 

She would occasionally find a book or series that she really liked and read it (like Hunger Games), but recently she's been on a massive book reading binge.

 

She usually reads about one book/month. Since the beginning of September, she has read Paper Towns, Abundance of Katherines, Fault in Our Stars, The Selection, The Name of the Star, and Cinder. That's one book/week.

 

It's really nice to see her excited about books.

 

She is very excited about the Texas Book Festival that is coming here in a couple of weeks.

 

She is also excited about starting NaNoWriMo next month.

Fantastic!!

 

Just wanted to suggest two titles: The Raven Boys and The Scorpio Races both by Maggie Stiefvater. They're both wonderful YA reads without overly too suggestive material. I recommended these to my hairstylist who's not a terribly enthusiastic reader and she LOVED them
