You can risk buying early readers, but the sounds in the book might not be the ones you've been working on and encountering words which are just too challenging can have more of a negative effect on the young dyslexic than a child without that problem. You need to be able to buy books at a reasonable price which concentrate on what you've been working on, without anything else being thrown into the mix. You need a story which engages the young mind and you need stages which progress steadily through the learning process without there being any large jumps. Some online support and games wouldn't go amiss, either. Reading - and Ronan Badel''learning'' to read - should be a pleasure. It should be ''fun''.}}{{Frontpage|isbn=099334030X|title=Dragons: Father Can You Draw the Dragosaur?|author=Peter Lynas and SonCharlie Roberts
