Looking for book recommendations (to read together rather than him to read himself) for my 5 year old please.
He is autistic and almost certainly has adhd so needs to be engaging. Whilst his own reading ability is good (hyperlexic), his aural language processing is slow, so books that work best for him are ones that are repetitive, or have a good rhythm when read aloud, or have an element of suspense about them. Good pictures help too!
Stuff that has been successful so far includes:
Julia Donaldson - we have all of the big titles but would love recommendations for lesser known titles.
Oi frog series (have all of these)
Acorn wood series (looking for something a little longer in length now)
Some of the classics - Mog, Elmer, V hungry Caterpillar etc.
Any recommendations gratefully received!

Why not go into your local Library and have a chat with staff there? Staff behind the counter know their stock. Joining up and borrowing books is free. Your child can browse and choose their own books. Every county will have it's own specialist Children's Librarian who is there to support youngsters' love of books. Good luck!
