Getting reluctant readers to enjoy texts!
Getting reluctant readers into texts can be really tricky. Below, you will find some online sites that could spark their interest and make home reading a joy.
Home reading doesn't have to be traditional paper books. It can be online services, kindle texts, newspapers, magazines, leaflets or even guidebooks. It doesn't matter what the text is, as long as it is interesting for the child and offers some challenges.
