Hi, I used these books for read alouds with my RtI students last year(almost all boys): Weasel, Hatchet (and its sequels), Zorgamazoo, Paul Harvey's The Rest of the Story, Tears of a Tiger, In the Land of the Lawn Weenies, Jim Trelease's Read Alouds for older kids. Monterey County libraries in CA also had a hand out called "Short and Skinny" and it was a list of titles for reluctant readers. I could get my kids to read, but only if it wasn't too long. Best of luck, Aimee Armstrong

These are also students who do not find reading enjoyable. I am looking for recommendations of books with a lot of adventure and action. Books that the kids can't put down. I do a lot of the reading aloud with lots of discussion so books can be on grade level. Any suggestions?
