Reading is so important! For some kids, especially those who struggle with reading, attention, or focus, it can be so challenging to find the motivation to read and it can be overwhelming for them. It is so important for parents and educators to encourage our children to read. Giving them a choice in what they read is a way to encourage them to read, even when it is difficult. If they are motivated to read, they will do the hard work it takes to get through difficult text.
Here are some great videos of authors who share their struggle of learning to read despite their struggles with reading. It is interesting to hear how they have developed strategies to work through their struggles and find success as children's authors! They share books and ideas that can help students who struggle with reading.
Dav Pilkey, Captain Underpants
Gene Luen Yang, American Born Chinese
Jack Gantos, Rotten Ralph
