Ideas for engaging reluctant readers matthew burgess Ideas for Engaging Reluctant Readers

Free Cheat Sheet for Teacher’s and Parent’s to engage reluctant readers.

Tips to assist with engaging the reader based on the first four books released in our series.

While the appearance of these books suggests a ‘chapter book’, the reading level required to decode the text is within the range of an average nine year old. Books, such as The Big Rusty Nail therefore provide an older child, who is struggling with age-appropriate texts an opportunity to read a more ‘grown-up’ looking book, without having to deal with words and concepts that that are either too difficult or outside his/her experience.

The uncomplicated, almost cartoon like illustrations help to provide contextual information and break the text into user-friendly chunks.
