The Power of Reciprocal Reading
We want reading to be fun, keeping the love of books alive for children of all ages. But what happens when reading becomes too challenging? Children will want to stop. Give up. They will become frustrated with the process. For dyslexic readers, who find reading challenging, there are ways in which you can gently encourage the love of reading, whilst helping a child to develop their listening and concentration skills along the way.
