Intro
Book worms devour all kinds of fiction, from short stories like Aesop’s Fables to novels like The Count of Monte Cristo. It’s a relaxing hobby but can be much harder to do alone if someone is in the later stages of their dementia journey
This activity brings back the joy of reading, albeit in a slightly different way. Help book lovers to access the wonderful tales within the pages by reading aloud to them – chapter by chapter. This means one novel might take several weeks or months to finish
Since our tastes are wildly different, make sure you find the stories they’ll enjoy. The best way to do this is to speak to their nearest and dearest to discover which novelists or genres they like
