Hi, ??I am teaching comprehension strategies to a group of fifth graders. ?They seem to be abandoning more books than they are reading to completion. ?In "Outliers," Malcolm Gladwell writes about 10,000 hours of practice as one of the keys to success. ?I know that my students are not getting enough real reading practice. ?Does anyone have any book suggestions for reluctant readers of this age? ?They tend to choose books from series such as "Bones," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," and "Series of Unfortunate Events." ?Their comprehension is slightly below grade level. ?I would love to put engaging, high-quality books in their hands that they love so much they can't stop reading! ?Thanks for your help with this endeavor. ?Susan ?MD
