Connecting with Reluctant Teen Readers: Tips, Titles, and Tools by Patrick Jones, Maureen L. Hartman, and Patricia P. Taylor It may sometimes seem impossible to get some kids to read, but YA experts Patrick Jones, Maureen Hartman, and Patricia Taylor believe in some proven tips, titles, and tools to make the impossible happen. They show you how to entice reluctant readers, what types of books are most likely to grab and keep their interest, and how to connect different kinds of readers with different genres (graphic novels, realistic fiction, mystery, fantasy, magazines, nonfiction, short stories, and more).

Reading aloud always sets a group of kids reaching for that very book!
Knowing the reader is the most effective way to reach the reluctant. Then having both fiction and non-fiction titles in your collection on the topics that interest them is crucial! Motorcycles, pirates, video games, unicorns, trolls, monsters, dragons, knights, animals, technology, automobiles, gems, rainbows, and other such favorites are a necessity. The more the better. Grab 'em with something that they really care about and make sure it's really good and a reluctant reader will trust you for other choices. I remember having 4-5th grade boys willing to read titles that were being marketed to girls because I told them they would like the main characters and that they were really funny.
The best book I've used with reluctant or disabled readers was Because of Winn Dixie. An animal story with heart, a movie tie-in (now), short but a medal winner so both kids and teachers are happy. I had it on tape too and multiple copies. It always solved a multitude of reading needs (book reports, small group discussions, medal winner, etc.) for me!
