BLLOON SPOTLIGHT: Overcoming dyslexia one book at a time with Mitchelle from Dundee
"Blloon looks and feels great and has encouraged me to start reading again and made me feel like I can do it!"
How did you find the Blloon app?
I didn't find Blloon, my 11-year-old son did! He was browsing the App Store on the iPad and found Blloon. When he first told me about the app, I couldn't believe that you could access bestselling books for free. I found the books that I wanted to read. The app is really easy-to-use and beautifully-designed. I'm dyslexic and reading has been a challenge for me in the past. Blloon looks and feels great and has encouraged me to start reading again and made me feel like I can do it!
What advice would you give someone who wants to start reading more?Find a book that you really want to read and that you feel will challenge you. Reading gives great satisfaction. Once you start, you'll quickly get hooked, feel happier, and notice that the television will be turned off and your iPhone or iPad turned on! Reading allows you to escape from your hectic day-to-day schedule and transports you away from any negativity. Make time for it!
What do you enjoy about Blloon?
The overall service is great. The staff are friendly. They send me messages asking how I'm getting on with the app and I can email them for recommendations about what to read next. The best thing about Blloon is that, since I discovered the app, I have rediscovered reading in a new way. Blloon makes you want to read more and has really helped me to reintroduce reading into my life.
What are you reading right now?
"How to hear your angels", by Doreen Virtue and "Angels of Abundances" by Doreen and Grant Virtue. These two books remind me about the power of being outdoors and spending more time with my loved ones - valuable sentiments for me (and for everyone). I love both these books and they're great for the soul.
