My Project

Disney-inspired books are a fantastic way to engage reluctant readers, as they tap into the well-known characters and worlds many kids already love from movies and TV shows. These books often adapt popular Disney stories or create new adventures featuring beloved characters like Mickey Mouse, Elsa, or Moana, offering young readers a familiar, inviting entry point into the world of reading. With simple language, fun illustrations, and short chapters, these books make reading less intimidating, allowing children to build confidence while enjoying the magic of Disney's storytelling.

The "Twisted Tales" Disney-inspired books cater to a wide range of reading levels and genres giving reluctant readers the chance to choose a story that resonates with them.

Many of these books focus on themes of friendship, bravery, and adventure, resonating with readers' emotions and making them more invested in the characters and plots. Whether it's a reimagined fairy tale or an original story, these books offer an exciting way to nurture a love of reading in children who may otherwise struggle to engage with traditional texts.
