Granny's
Stories

by Pat Johnson, author


This book is dedicated to my grandson who has ADHD and is struggling to learn how to read. This e-book is designed to help children that are struggling to learn how to read and find themselves getting discouraged when they try to read longer stories.

The stories in this e-book are short, fun, and easy to read. There may be some words that a child might have trouble reading at first but with a parent's help they will soon be reading each and every word.

If you know of someone who has a child that is struggling to learn how to read, please tell this about this e-book.

I hope this e-book of Granny's stories makes reading easy and fun like it has for my grandson.
