I'm getting really pissed off with these so called 'dyslexia friendly' and 'easy read' books. I'm a teacher and I can see why they exist and why they are used, but I feel that they are actually an insult to dyslexic and/or reluctant readers; most of them are incredibly dull with barely any story line, and that is not how to engage someone to read. If Harry Potter is considered good for readers who struggle why is this crap being used in schools?! There are so many good books for people who have issues with reading, don't insult their intelligence and ability with stuff like this.

Another one I'm reading with my literacy class.
Definitely the most gripping one yet. Can't help but want a bit more from all these Barrington Stoke books though.
My literacy class will like this one I think

This is a perfect coffee break read. Though aimed at children it is an enjoyable short read. Great.
