Week 6: Real Books that Don’t Feel like Real Books

This week the boys in one of our skills clubs helped me come up with a list of books that do not feel like “real books.”

Maybe you are just getting back into reading, after a big break? And you need something to read to get back into the swing of things! (note: graphic novels are more pictures than words!) These books all have LOTS of words, more than pictures, on each page & can feel like an easier way to get back at it with your reading :)

These books can help you get out of a reading slump. They are also ways to get some extra reading time that will not feel like ‘real reading’. 

The recommendations include books from these categories: 

• Record Books (like Guinness World Records)

• Choose the Ending (these are so fun!)

• Fact Books (fact trackers, National Geographic - these are great for comprehension practice!)

• How-to Books (cookbooks, sewing school, coding, science experiments etc)

• Joke Books (these count, and can be SO fun to read out loud to family)

• Sports Books (are you playing soccer this season? baseball? find one that fits your hobbies and interests!)

As always, if you need book suggestions, hop on over to our FB group and ask!
