Once upon a story time, readers fell into a magical world filled with magic and wonder... would you be brave enough to explore with us?

What is needed to be part of this book club: EPIC subscription (first month subscription is free, approx. 10 euro thereafter)

Overview

The Readable Project (RP) is an online book club specifically designed for young people with dyslexia. Each group has 6 young people who are of a similar age and enjoy stories centred on the same theme. It is facilitated by a qualified teacher who has been trained in how best to support young people with dyslexia. 

The Readable Project introduces the young person, in a fun and sociable way, to the life-long pleasure that comes from reading. It also assists them to find out where and how to access stories in the format that best suits them (print/ebook/audio). In addition, time is spent discussing the story and investigating the meaning of words. This is a great way to make connections with other young people with dyslexia.

What is the cost?

The Readable Project is run on a not-for-profit basis. The cost of participation in a six week Readable Project is €75. This is paid online, in advance to secure the place. 

In addition thanks to funding from the Tomar Trust we have some subsidised places available for those experiencing ongoing financial hardship. The subsidised fee is €37.50. Please only opt for the subsidy rate if your financial circumstances mean that your young person will not otherwise be able to attend. We may contact you to seek evidence of your financial circumstance if you opt for the subsidised fee.
