🐴✨ Book Spotlight: Blackthorn Stables Junior Series
�A fun, horse-filled adventure that also supports growing readers!
At our clinic, we love incorporating the Blackthorn Stables Junior series into sessions—especially for children with reading challenges or dyslexia. We love the way the words are laid out on the pages, the spacing between the lines, and the pictures and graphics to assist with reading comprehension. ��Here’s why:
📚 Decodable, Dyslexia-Friendly Format�The books use clear fonts, predictable sentence structures, and controlled vocabulary—making them more accessible for struggling readers and helping build confidence with each page.�
🐎 Engaging, Motivating Storylines�The horse-themed adventures keep kids hooked. When children want to keep reading, their endurance, fluency, and comprehension naturally grow.�
🧠 Supports Phonics & Reading Foundations�Because the stories are designed with early literacy skills in mind, kids get repeated practice with letter patterns, sight words, and decoding skills—without feeling like they’re doing “work.”�
💬 Builds Vocabulary & Language Skills�The series introduces new words in meaningful, real-life contexts, helping vocabulary stick. This is especially helpful for children who need language-rich experiences.�
❤️ Confidence-Boosting for Struggling Readers�Finishing a chapter—or the whole book—gives kids a huge sense of accomplishment. For children with dyslexia, these “I can do it!” moments are powerful for motivation and self-esteem.�
🌟 Why We Love Using It in Therapy:�The books are fun, approachable, and developmentally supportive. They allow kids to practice reading skills while connecting to relatable characters, teamwork, problem-solving, and the joy of caring for animals.�
If your child loves horses, mysteries, animals—or needs a confidence-building series to grow their reading skills—this might be the perfect place to start! 🐴💛
