What Parents Say About Barrington Stoke

‘Thank you - you have helped to turn a reluctant reader into a voracious one.'

"My daughter is 10 and a half years old and has dyslexia. Her reading age is around 8 and a half years. Only recently has she been able to read in any way approaching fluency. We discovered Barrington Stoke about a year ago and since then we have read many books together. For the first time ever she is enthusiastic about reading and actually asks me "can I read another chapter?". This from the child who used to cry whilst trying to read. So, many thanks for providing such wonderful, appropriate books for children like my daughter."

‘I felt I had to write to you with regard to your excellent books. My son is eight and dyslexic and hated the reading books he brought home from school. We discovered your books and he was so interested that he asked me to speak to his school and see if they wanted to buy some. Thank you so much for giving my son back his spark, joy, interest and excitement with regards to reading.'

‘Thank you - you have unlocked a new world for my son.'

‘I have noticed such a change in him and his teachers have also remarked on the improvement in his reading and concentration, and it's all thanks to your books.'

‘I am just writing to say thank you for publishing such brilliant and exciting books.'

‘Since being introduced to your range of books he is sitting down and reading with enjoyment for the first time in his life. A BIG thank you for improving his life.'

‘My 9 year old son has dyslexia and I recently discovered your publications through the BDA website.  I have to say that these have been a revalation!  I have purchased some of the titles from your website and he thoroughly enjoyed them - willingly picking up a book to read rather than our previous battles.'

‘I just wanted to drop you a line to say THANK YOU. My 9 year old daughter has dyslexia and she is now reading by choice thanks to your 4u2read series. ... Her teacher has even commented that she suddenly has more interest in reading. Words cannot explain what these books have meant to her and also how delighted I feel. I only wish I'd discovered your company sooner.'

‘I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how barrington stoke books have helped my 11 year old daughter. Barrington Stoke opened up a whole new world to her where she actually found books she enjoyed particularly ones with humour.... Yasmin's reading age was recorded last week as 8 years old which is an improvement of 2 years 4 months in just 8 months since starting to read your books so from one very grateful mum    THANK YOU.'

‘I am a lucky parent of a happy 11yr old child who has just this week discovered your books. His resource teacher in school gave him Sharks and he could not put it down. Nathan has Adhd and a mild learning ability and his reading ability is 7. He has always loved books and stories but unfortunately he could never read them he listened. I feel like both myself and my son has won the lottery its amazing.Since Monday he has read 3 of your books and has done book reports on them. He went to bed tonight reading his forth book to his younger brother age 7 he has never done this. I just wanted to thank you.'

‘What fantastic books!  My son aged 11 who struggles with reading and spelling has just devoured one of your books (recommended by our library) in an hour and a half leaving myself and my husband speechless...  Thank you so much. The confidence he has gained in an hour and a half is unmeasurable- I have tears in my eyes just writing this as I know what a world has opened up before him.'
