It's not the book list. It's the match.

You did the research. You picked the books every list said reluctant readers love. And they're still sitting on the nightstand. This short guide shows you how to find the right fit, and how to share a book your child loves even when it's above their reading level.

Inside the guide

Three questions to ask before you pick the next book
The Reading Ladder: five ways to share a book, so one above their level can still be theirs
A starting list by interest, with the best rung for each book
The one-page check, and when it's worth looking closer
A printable Family Learning Board to track the books you love, and why

"Wherever their interest is, that's where their love of reading is going to start."
