Quick Reads' new books for 2013 are out this month, so today our blog is going to take a look at what Quick Reads is, and why the books they publish are great for dyslexics.
Quick Reads is a scheme set up to encourage adults who are reluctant to read to pick up a book. They publish books designed to be as appealing as possible to these adults. They are short, easy to read, exciting, and all written by popular authors. The books can be bought through High Street stores, and online, for just £1. Quick Reads publishes several new books once a year.
These books are perfect for dyslexic adults who want to start reading for pleasure. They are un-intimidating, affordable, well written, and easy to read without being childish. If you like an author it is also easy to find other books they have written that are not published by Quick Reads. If memory is a problem, the shortness of the books means they can be finished before any of the plot or characters are forgotten.
This year the Quick Reads books are:
A Dreadful Murder by Minette Walters
A Sea Change by Veronica Henry
Doctor Who: The Silurian Gift by Mike Tucker
Love is Blind by Kathy Lette
Today Everything Changes by Andy McNab
Wrong Time, Wrong Place by Simon Kernick
The books can be bought through most High Street bookshops in the UK, and online in print, or as ebooks. They can also be borrowed from many libraries. For more details on availability visit the Quick Reads website: quickreads.org.uk
