Last week I gave you 7 Ways to Turn a BOOK HATER into a BOOK READER!  

If you know a reluctant reader use those steps and these book lists to help you find the right book. 

I know there are far too many reluctant readers out there that are missing out on not only a ton of awesome and entertaining books, but they are also missing out on the benefits for being a reader.  

Readers...

  • Are Less Stressed
  • Have a Larger Vocabulary
  • Have Stronger Thinking Skills
  • Have Better Focus and Concentration
  • Have Better Speaking Skills
  • Appreciate Other Places and Cultures
  • Keep Brain Stimulated
  • Have Better Memory 
  • Improves Creativity
  • Are Better Writers
There are many reasons to be or become a reader, and I know every one, no matter the age, can become a reader.

Books for Reluctant Readers in 
Kindergarten and First Grade

Kindergarten


Boys:
Read this book over and over again.


Girls:
This is the first in a series of picture books.  Start with Pinkalicious and go from there when she falls in love with this one. 


Everyone:
Mo Willems has a series of Pigeon books.  These appeal to everyone and fun to read aloud. 

First Grade


Boys:
This series has both fiction and non-fiction books that are great.


Girls:
A great series with pictures in a "early chapter book" format. Very well written. 




Everyone:
This is the first book of many great picture books and early chapter books.  

Almost all of these books are the first of a series.  Getting kids reading and enjoying a series is a way to get them reading all summer long. 


Happy Summer Reading even for Reluctant Readers
