"Kids are constantly bombarded with visual images from television, movies, video games and the Internet. All this vivid imagery can make reading books seem dull and boring. Unfortunately, children who don’t read much suffer in other academic areas as well. Spelling is the area where kids who don’t read suffer the most. Reading exposes children to a wide range of words and just knowing what the words look like helps them with their spelling skills. If you know children who don’t show and interest in books, here are 10 books that could help get those kids reading.

1. Killing Lincoln
2. Being George Washington
3. Harry Potter
4. Just So Stories
5. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
6. Sherlock Holmes
7. Treasure Island
8. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
9. Gulliver’s Travels
10. Oliver Twist

For children who are resistant to reading, the secret is to find books that they are interested in. Stories about young people help them identify with the characters and relate to the plot. Fantasy and humor are also good ways to get kids hooked on books. Giving them a variety to choose from will help determine what genre captures their imagination. Don’t be discouraged if your first attempts don’t succeed. Once kids find the wonders available to them in books, they’ll be ready to devour every one they can get their hands on."
