Frequently asked questions

How do you encourage a reluctant reader?
With reluctant readers, the goal is to rebuild the joy and remove the pressure, and a playful challenge helps by making reading feel like a game rather than a chore. Use varied 'missions' (read something funny, read in a den, read to someone) so success isn't only about volume or difficulty, and let the child choose what they read — comics, fact books, joke books and audiobooks all absolutely count, and choice is one of the biggest drivers of engagement. Keep sessions short and positive, read together and let them see you enjoying books, and celebrate effort with a reward when they hit a goal. Visit the library (free, and many run brilliant summer reading challenges), and never turn it into a battle. The aim is a genuine love of reading that lasts, which grows far better from enjoyment than from being made to read.
