Ripley's
Believe It or Not: Expect the Unexpected - OK
it is just plain gross but it gets them reading and exploring.
My son loved the ' hairiest twins in the world' |

Captain
Underpants Boxed Set -
Ahhh, toilet humor. Is there any better genre for engaging
boys. Funny thing is that there is some very fun pun
and plays on words that provide that 'leg up' to the
next level. OK, it is not going to get them to 'dramatic
irony' but it is a step on the way :)

Stilton -
My sister teaches boys and she recommends this. It is
therefore good by nature :)

Goosebumps
- OK, yes I'll agree they are all very similar but
the lads love them and it gets them reading. Check out
a few Goosebumps books then discuss formulaic writing
later :)

stuff and deciding which experiments they'd like to try.
You might need to but a few ingredients but it gives the
lads a real context to read in. |
