Reluctant Readers (Pembroke, $14.95)
Info
Reluctant Readers, subtitled 'Connecting students and books for successful reading experiences' (Pembroke, $14.95), is a joint project between Jobe and University of Victoria professor Mary Dayton-Sakari. It provides a variety of strategies, activities and techniques for turning non-readers, from grades three to six, into enthusiastic book-lovers.
Reluctant readers, the educators believe, avoid the fear of failure by denying a need to read. They identify several recognizable categories the kids fall into, based on what the kids believe about themselves -- I can't; I don't know how, I don't care -- and the best resources and strategies to counter those beliefs. Dozens of annotated lists of suggested reading and a bibliography of more than 1000 titles are included. 1-55138-106-0
