A Special Series of Books for Children Who Struggle to Read

The Night of the Paranormal Patterns Dyslexia Series is based on the premise that although dyslexic children struggle to develop their reading skills, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t bright or that they shouldn’t be challenged in other subjects such as math. In addition, dyslexic children enjoy a good story full of memorable characters and incidents just as much as children without reading difficulties.

The books in this series make up the Night of the Paranormal Patterns Dyslexia Pack. The series of seven books—all printed in a special dyslexia-friendly font—tells the story of Lennie Miller, who is visited by a variety of strange, paranormal creatures that expect her to solve their math problems. Together, the books form a single novel, with each part connected to the next by the characters and themes and by the sorts of math problems that run through them—problems that are there for readers to solve if they can.

A special feature of these books is that each two-page spread contains a QR code that links to audio of the book being narrated. Children can listen and follow along to help them learn the words that they are seeing.

Each book also contains lists of the proper nouns and of the words that a dyslexic child might find difficult that appear in the book. The challenge words are available as flashcards—also printed in the dyslexia-friendly font—so that children can study and work to learn them outside of the narrative of the story. The pack can be purchased with or without the flashcards.

The Night of the Paranormal Patterns Dyslexia Series offers a way for children with reading difficulties to enjoy reading and math in a rare and wonderfully accessible combination that they will treasure for years to come.

The Night of the Paranormal Patterns Dyslexia Series is based on a novel of the same name by author Robert Black as part of his Mathematical Nights series, for average-ability and advanced readers. (See below.)
