Wordwise Collections
Wordwise collections contain books and tapes for children and young people who find reading difficult. The books are interesting and attractive to children and young people yet the texts are easy to access. The collections also contain information for parents on dyslexia and other learning difficulties.
Where you can find them
You can find Wordwise collections at the Central Children's Library, Purley, Shirley and Thornton Heath Libraries. These libraries can provide you with a list of items included in the collection.
Who can use them
Anyone can - all you need is a Croydon library ticket and to look for the Wordwise logo on the spine.
Who set up these collections
We set up these collections with Croydon Dyslexia Association and the Croydon Literacy Support Centre. See Associated links for more information about these organisations.
