Do you have a reluctant reader on your hands? Reluctant readers are usually reluctant because they identify reading with schoolwork. Finding popular books for kids is a must.
As tablets and gaming is ever increasing, reading seems to be on the decline. In our house, reading used to be a chore, but since we have been spending a lot more time at the library this year, I all of a sudden have thriving readers in my house.
Making sure your kids have an interest in what they read is the easiest way to get your reluctant reader on the path to becoming an avid reader. There is something for every tween on this list.
