I am dyslexic, and I understand the struggle of learning to read for pleasure when it’s incredibly difficult to read at all. But one thing I remember vividly from my childhood is that when people read aloud to me, I loved the stories, and as I grew, the reward of experiencing great stories is what made the effort of reading worthwhile. My hope is to share that love of stories with young readers and to encourage parents not to stop reading aloud to their kids—especially struggling readers—even when they’re older.To help young readers cultivate this love of story, I work very hard to make sure each of my chapter books is full of adventure, excitement, and compelling characters, but I also make sure they are available as audio books, so that struggling readers can whet their appetites with a taste of the “good stuff”—the stories that make the effort of reading worthwhile.I am also a speaker, frequently addressing parents and educators on how to maximize the value of shared reading time and how to help dyslexic and other struggling readers to learn to love to read. I was the keynote speaker at the October 2019 Central Texas Dyslexia Conference. I’ve published articles about dyslexia and reading in a variety of print and online magazines, including the Costco Connection Magazine, TODAY Parenting, Fostering Families Today, MD Monthly, Latin Times, and many others.I have published a non-fiction book by reading specialist Faith Borkowsky on Failing Student or Failing Schools? A Parent’s Guide to Reading Instruction and Intervention.For more information, visit my website/blog at https://donwinn.com, and my CBA Publishing page at https://www.cba-books.com
