Help your child enjoy reading
Many dyslexic children will be reluctant readers – maybe because they find it too difficult, or because it reminds them too much of the reading they have to do at school.

Make up your own stories – then there are no words to read, and it encourages your child to retell them and make up their own stories. Why not visit our resources section for fun after-story activities – you’ll find everything from colouring-in sheets to arts and crafts ideas.
