Reading is an essential skill in today's society. You need to be able to read to do well at school and in the workplace, and you need reading skills to understand essential information. For some children reading is no problem, they learn to read quickly and reach reading levels that are well beyond their years. Having advanced readers comes with many problems, the first of which is finding advanced reading material that is appropriate for their emotional maturity. Our section on advanced readers offers advice on books to try and advice on how to navigate your way through the book reviews for children and teenagers on our website. For some children reading is a chore that they would rather avoid, which leads to them being labelled reluctant readers. Often a reluctant reader is a reader who is yet to connect with books that they find interesting. You will find advice and recommendations in our section on reluctant readers. You will also find sections on choosing books for children and teenagers, and sharing books with children and teenagers. Choosing the right books can help your reluctant reader advance, or help you support your advanced reader. |
