I'm looking for engaging, YA fiction titles that deal with PSHE style topics. Must be appropriate for Y8 and be something unlikely to have been read at Primary school.

Please can I ask what you would consider 'best practice' in supporting students with dyslexia at Secondary school- both on a class-teacher and whole school level? General pedagogy and/ or intervention strategies? Articles/ links welcome. TIA! TheLiteracyCommunity

Thanks to @DamsonEd and TheLiteracyCommunity for an insightful session yesterday around reading tests and comprehension. I'd love to know what info schools share with parents following a reading test such as NGRT. Do you send home SAS scores? Stanines? RA? Pls explain your reasons...
