Any recommendations for books about dyslexia please?

We're starting a journey here and I feel underprepared.

The guy who did the assessment was brilliant, but I can't call him every time I or my daughter have a question...

The Bite Risk series by @sjwills.bsky.social is a thrilling and original teen horror series. Had chance to finish the third book this morning - It was EPIC!

If you’ve not read the first book, check out my review below.

That's so kind, thank you Wendy! Really glad you enjoyed it 😊

But paying authors for the stuff he stole from them would be too expensive.

Random 😂 Glad you found it anyway!

I got mine from my author page on my publisher's website

Huge thanks to everyone who has left a rating or review for ESCAPE ROOM: GAME ZERO so far. These can really help readers to find new books and possibly increase my chances of acquiring a unicorn, so if you've read the book and feel able to leave a rating/review, thank you! linktr.ee/edgechristop...

Happy publication day to me! Nate Yu’s Blast From the Padt is out today! It’s my third novel for kids! I had a lovely London launch at Papercat Bookshop in Herne Hill organised by my publishers Piccadilly Press.

I was excited to read and it did not disappoint. I smell prizes 😁x

A proof copy of E.L. Norry's upcoming children's novel, Runaways. The cover is orange at the top, sky-blue at the bottom, with two side-eyes in between. Tagline: three homes, two kids, one journey.

Just finished @elnorrywriter.bsky.social upcoming children's novel (out 3rd July) and thoroughly recommend - characters you immediately root for, and a tense, moving, compelling story. Would love to read more featuring 11yos Jamie and July! @kidsbloomsbury.bsky.social

Over on X we have 2 sets of the BRILL #BiteRisk series with NEW #ColdBlood by @sjwills.bsky.social to #WIN!

Hope you enjoy 😊

The cover of the book BITE RISK by S.J. Wills, against a dark red background. The cover shows the title in jagged font, and a night scene with four teenagers standing in front of a house. Behind them is the impression of a howling werewolf.

My book this week is #BiteRisk (10+) by @sjwills.bsky.social –A world where all adults are werewolves, conspiracies pile up, no one can be trusted, and snarling death is always only a page away… This was exciting, scary, and so much fun – a howling success! (sorry).

🙏 really kind of you to say, thank you for reading 🤗🐺

Looks so cool, Jamie!

PREPARE TO BE SHOCKED! In what may be the most foolhardy act the podcast has ever committed, we commissioned @joetwyman.bsky.social at Deltapoll to ask the nation for its favourite WW2 films. The results... 🧵

Book Clubs in Schools: how Kids inspire kids

It must be a word because believe it or not I do have autocorrect turned on

So classic it's almost a cliché but I'm going to try to put my own spin on it
