Parents & Carers
We know exactly how difficult it is when your child is a struggling reader.
We know the heartache. We've hid in the toilet and cried, desperate for a book that would capture our child's imagination while being accessible to them.
Choosing the right book...
Let's face it. Going to the bookstore with a struggling reader is stressful.
We know they're going to be drawn to the cool cover that promises the action / adventure / laughs / romance / mystery that they crave. And we cringe a little, knowing that it will end in tears somewhere around page 2. If we're lucky enough to get that far.
That's why Dapple Grey Press does the following:
-
Hi/Lo Stories - plainly, these are big kid stories that are suitable to a lower reading age. For example, a teen romance may be suitable to 11-14 year olds, but written at the 8-9 year old reading level.
-
Discreet Labelling - the Hi/Lo ages are on our covers. But they're tucked away so that our struggling readers and their friends don't see them.
For example IA-8+ RA-7/8 means interest age is age 8 and up, while reading age is 7-8.
