by a dyslexic library member
I am a reluctant reader because I find reading difficult. But I love books and am extremely motivated to engage with them. In this series of six blog posts, I would like to share some tips on overcoming a reluctance to read. By the term ‘reluctant reader’, I mean anyone who is reluctant to read for whatever reason, including reading difficulties and dyslexia.
