DYSPRAXIA: CHRISLEXIA AND THE TIED UP TOWN
Wednesday, 12 November, 2025

🎧 CHRISLEXIA AND THE TIED-UP TOWN💫 A magical adventure about Dyspraxia, courage, and untying what feels impossible.Welcome back to the Chrislexia Read-Aloud series — where every kind of mind finds its magic.In this episode, we explore the world through the eyes of James — bright, funny, determined, and sometimes tangled up in his own shoelaces.When the class stumble upon the mysterious Tied-Up Town, everything — and everyone — is knotted, tangled, or stuck.Doors won’t open. Bridges won’t connect. Words twist and trip over each other.Even thoughts can’t seem to flow in straight lines.Sound familiar?For James, this strange new world feels all too real. He’s used to dropping things, tripping over nothing, or spending far too long trying to tie a bow.But when the rest of the class begin to lose patience, it’s James — not the “neat and tidy” ones — who discovers what’s really holding the town together.✨ Through puzzles, teamwork, and one very important lesson about patience, James learns that dyspraxia doesn’t mean broken — it means brilliantly wired for something different.This story celebrates the children who think faster than their hands can move, who know exactly what they want to say but can’t always get the words out, and who keep showing up — again and again — no matter how many times they fall.Because in The Tied-Up Town, it’s not perfection that saves the day.It’s persistence.---🧩 ABOUT THE SERIESThe Chrislexia and the… collection brings together six magical adventures inspired by real neurodiverse experiences.Each story follows Chris and his classmates as they discover their hidden strengths — inside and outside the classroom — while exploring new worlds where neurodiversity is the norm and difference is the superpower.📘 Book 1: The Classroom of Clues — Friendship & first magic🧠 Book 2: The Power of Words — Dyslexia🧮 Book 3: The Logic Landslide — Dyscalculia⚽ Book 4: The Tied-Up Town — Dyspraxia🎧 Book 5: The Shouting Shadows — Sensory Processing✍️ Book 6: The Unwritten Story — DysgraphiaEach book can be enjoyed individually or as part of the full Chrislexia journey — a growing world that celebrates inclusion, confidence, and understanding for readers, listeners, and classrooms everywhere.---💡 WHY “READ-ALOUD WITH THE AUTHOR”?Listening while reading is proven to boost focus, comprehension, and confidence — especially for neurodiverse, EAL, and struggling readers.That’s why every Chrislexia book is available both in print and as a free read-aloud on the Chrislexia Podcast — because inclusion shouldn’t depend on ability.Research from the British Dyslexia Association, Education Endowment Foundation, and Made By Dyslexia confirms that multisensory reading helps children connect sounds to print, build vocabulary, and grow their love of learning.So whether you’re reading along, listening in the car, or sharing the story in class — thank you for celebrating difference with me.---💙 READ.
