Here's how I got my dyslexic daughter hooked on reading when she was a dyslexic teenager, very resistant to reading after years of frustration. I read out loud to her the best books I could find in the children's fantasy genre. I would try to pick a cliffhanger spot to stop reading at to keep her hooked. (Hey, it works in tv.) If she seemed anxious

i've always been grateful that my dyslexia never affected my reading - until the last five years or so - but had vast, ugly effects on my so-called math skills.

My dad read my sister and I several novels when we were kids, including the whole Narnia series and LotR, and it was a really good experience. It sounds like you had a great idea for helping your daughter read! I love your choice of books, too. As a girl who loved math, I identified so much more with Meg Murry than with most female character in young adult fiction.
