Learning to Read with Dyslexia - Books and Resources for Families, Educators and Elementary Students

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month! Celebrate all year long with these library resources centering dyslexic characters and materials that tutors trained at the Children's Dyslexia Center--Madison have found helpful.

Audiobooks are also a great way to empower dyslexic readers! Libraries offer many books on CD, Playaway, or as audio-enabled copies of print books, as well as downloadable audiobooks through Wisconsin's Digital Library.

Graphic Novels for Beginning Readers

This is a list of graphic novels perfect for beginning readers. There is relatively little text on each page, the illustrations are bright and friendly and the storylines are appropriate for younger readers. There are still some “rare words” and some of the books use non-standard fonts that might prove challenging to readers who are still working on the basics.
