The Case of the Missing Ruby and Other Stories by Walter Dean Myers

If you have a son who is a reluctant reader, ask your librarian which authors have a following among boys.

Avoiding pitfalls as you encourage your reluctant reader Reading books like the Encyclopedia Brown series can help your child prepare for more substantial reading. Some may not be great literature, but they can entice a less confident or skilled reader because of their predictable themes and familiar characters. Show your child that books are the keys to achieving a desirable skill.ĭoes she want to put sequins on her jeans? Does he want to do magic tricks? Does he want to learn to care for a new a pet? Show them how books can give step-by-step instructions. You might not like the humor of the Captain Underpants series, but your 9- to 12-year-old may love it. Read books with your child that have silly drawings or humor only a kid would love. Keep a book like this handy in the car, in the kitchen, at the doctor’s office, on vacation or at the ballpark. Joke books, riddle books and books of sports trivia are irresistible to some of the most reluctant readers. Tell your child a joke or a riddle - and pull out the book where you found it. If it has his name on the address label, a magazine becomes a personal invitation to read. Also consider general magazines for children, such as Highlights, Nickleodeon or Time for Kids. Whether it’s soccer, skateboarding or space travel, get a subscription to a magazine on that topic. What can you do to encourage your reluctant reader? Connect reading with your child’s passion. Others have learning difficulties and find reading a struggle. But some children, even those with strong skills, would rather do anything than read.
