The Turn Around Books

“I don’t think there is one turn-around book. That reduces a
love to reading to a silver bullet—or in this case a magic book.
Reluctant readers come to reading reluctantly. For a while
they’ll be book-at-a-time readers---readers who will read the
book we put into their hand but they won’t seek out the next
good book on their own. Gradually, with support and
encouragement, they’ll move toward a stance that says, “This
reading thing is good—good enough that I’ll seek a book out on
my own.” Maybe that’s the turn-around-book—the book that
the kid on his own finds that he enjoys” - Dr. K. Beers (via
email)
