My 9 year old is a very reluctant reader. He's fluent and reads very well but just won't. He's more likely to read comics or joke books, and will sometimes read books of facts or other non-fiction. I've started reading aloud to him again to try to capture his imagination and show him how fun it is. I'm currently reading the second Harry Potter book and he is loving it. He has found it a bit scary, though. He's quite sensitive in that way. I don't think I'll go beyond the third book at the moment.
Any recommendations? I'm struggling a bit because most books at the library which seem geared towards getting boys reading don't seem like they'd be any good for me reading aloud to him - not exactly brilliant stories.
