Popular Titles for Reluctant Readers

For new readers, finding a book that hooks them in makes all the difference when it's time to practice their developing reading skills. A fast plot, a healthy dose of silliness, and a few furry characters go a long way in making reading fun. Try out these titles and you might be surprised to find your reluctant reader asks for more. Special thanks to Children's Room staff members Emily Johansson, Morgan Ryan, and Heather McCue for their recommendations.
