My year 7 boy has become even more reluctant to read than when he was in primary school. He’s never yet been gripped by anything he’s read - partly due to being a late reader and lacking confidence. Now, along with other difficulties, he doesn’t want to read at all.
I want to encourage him with a graphic novel - any recommendations that aren’t horror based. He’s easily scared and has a lot of worries at the moment. I’m thinking of ‘Northern Lights’ as it is a novel the rest of the family have loved - however, he might resist for this very reason!
