As a lifetime book-devourer from a family of insatiable readers, the idea of a kid needing to be nudged into wanting to read is alien to me, but I know it does happen. I have great respect for parents who are enthusiastic about encouraging the love of reading. My daughter and I have read all the books on your list and give you two thumbs up for your great choices. If your eldest saw the film of Ender's Game, I'll bet she'll find the book much richer and more satisfying. I think of The Great Gatsby as a "revisting book," one that can be read again at different times of life, with each reading adding to the experience. Charlotte's Web is one of my favorites too. Not only is the prose exquisite, I love both the humor and the messages about friendship.

I can't recommend enough the Mercy Watson series by Kate DiCamillo. It's a chapter book series suited for boys or girls in second grade. I even loved it! I bought the book series for my son's teacher as well and all the kids loved it. Several stopped me in the hall to tell me they checked Mercy Watson out of the library or bought their own copies! Never had that happen with a book before!!

Hi,

I don't know if you've already read the book "Treasure Hunters" ( amazon.com/Treasure-Hunters-James-Patterson/dp/031620756X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425527899&sr=8-1&keywords=treasure+hunters) but it's got some great pictures too, and it's in the reading range for Chloe. It's a fun story and I enjoyed the art!

Two book series my kids love (they are also fun to read out loud as a parent) are "Creature in My Closet" by Obert Skye and "Raymond and Graham Rule the School" by Mike Knudson and Steve Wilkinson. Both series will make your kids laugh. I think they would work well for reluctant readers (especially boys). They are easy for younger kids but fun for the older kids.

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your site.

It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more
often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Superb work!
