Resources

 Random House, Inc. published this volume that focuses on reaching reluctant readers, as the title indicates. It contains guides for teachers, articles on different articles on authors, genre and media to include how to use gaming to attract reluctant readers. I like the format and wanted to share it with you all. No, I did not read all 112 pages.

 I also found another article concerning Reluctant Readers called Kids, K9's and the Future. It was from a 2008 webpage for Turning the Page: Refocusing Massachusetts for Reading Success. This organization serves 5-18 year olds with a registered therapy dog. This page focuses on ages 5-8 year olds with a library program and a dog to improve their skills.

The website is Kids, K9's and the Future: [|http://www.pp4h.org/?programs=k9s-4-kids#_ednl]

This picture is of the family lab, Caramel, who is not a registered therapy dog. I am sure though she would listen to kids read any story involving pheasants, ducks, geese and in general romping in Montana. My mom, Vivian, is also in the picture enjoying the warmth of the truck.

I also found a review on this book and it sounded like another great resource to share. Here I attached the review.



This assignment is so fascinating. The material out there seems endless. What a terrific way to reach students of all ages.
