I'm part of a reading volunteer scheme at the local school. We take in material for kids who are reluctant readers and try to increase confidence by listening to them read or playing games with them.
This year I have 2 Y6 boys, one is keen on computers, one on art.
I often buy magazines for them, if I think they're appropriate. I can get PC world, or something similar for the computer boy. I also have a 'build your own website' book in mind for him.
The art boy I don't know where to start with him. I don't know what he's specifically interested in (yet) but does anyone out there have any ideas on where I could start?
I only have 20 minutes with each boy, twice a week, but it's a golden opportunity to increase confidence and help them develop an interest in reading. Has anyone got any ideas on what might be good????
