Why Green Ember Works for Reluctant Readers
If you’ve ever been (like me), or had, a reluctant reader in your home, you know the challenge: getting them to want to read. So when a story finally clicks? Something special happens.
That’s what happened for this mom:
“With The Green Ember, we had the free audiobook but didn’t buy the audio version for Book 2. I was pleasantly surprised when [my dyslexic son] started asking to borrow my Kindle to read it on Kindle—and he was engrossed over it for hours on end, a first for him! Which is why I can confidently say it’s definitely engaging.”
Yen, Charlotte Mason International
And this one:
“Big win for my reluctant reader! S.D. Smith’s world of rabbits with swords is captivating. I have three children (16, 13, 11 yo) who love stories, but my middle child–the one who doesn’t interact with books that he’s not required to read–devoured this story and then proceeded to craft all sorts of creative art projects to accompany it…We are hooked on these characters and their adventures!”
Karen B.
But these aren’t isolated stories. We hear again and again:
“My child who hated reading finished the whole series!”
“My daughter finished the first and immediately asked for more!”
Here’s why Green Ember is great for reluctant readers:
Short chapters with cliffhangersChapters are a manageable length that give readers a sense of accomplishment but the suspense keeps them reading.Series builds momentumOnce they finish one book, they’ll want to keep going. I hear from lots of parents that this is the first time their child finished a whole series on their own!Relatable charactersThe main characters, Heather and Picket, are siblings who face big fears and have to make brave choices. Readers can relate to their struggles and celebrate their victories.Try out the first audiobook for free. Once they’ve finished, it might be the perfect time to invite your reluctant avid reader to keep going.
