Reaching Reluctant Readers

What is a Reluctant Reader?

Reluctant readers are those who, for whatever reason, do not like to read.

What are Hi-Lo books?

Hi-Lo books from Orca Book Publishers are short, high-interest novels, written at a lower reading level but with age-appropriate plots, characters and storylines. These books feature linear storylines, limited vocabulary and contemporary topics.

Hi-Lo Books for the Reluctant Reader Effective Hi-Lo fiction for reluctant readers features strong realistic protagonists that the reader cares about. Exciting plots and interesting themes are also key elements. The subject matter is relevant and sometime controversial, which enables the reader to become emotionally attached and invested. The dialogue is authentic, lively and varied. Vocabulary and sentence structure is accessible without being patronizing through oversimplification.

“Quality teen fiction, relevant to our students’ lives, can and should be our point of entry with reluctant struggling readers. Teen fiction of this caliber is available, and it is time to provide new options for reading that let our students experience how great it feels to finish a book and how much fun it can be to escape reality by getting involved in a great story.”

— Carolyn Salonen

Program Curriculum Consultant, Waterloo Regional District School Board 10

Making the case for high quality reluctant reader fiction.

Literacy starts in the classroom.

Recent studies suggest that nearly 50 percent of North Americans struggle with literacy to some extent.* *According

to Statistics Canada’s International Adult Literacy and Life Skills Survey (2003) and the U.S. Department of Education’s National Adult Literacy Survey (2002)

E n gagi n g Students: Effective reading instruction focuses on a student’s personal interests and includes diverse reading material. Readers can be alienated if the material they are provided with has no connection to their world. Reluctant readers need material that extends their thinking and allows them to make meaningful connections with literature.

I ndependa nt Readi n g: Providing classroom time to read is an effective way to develop literacy skills. Students have diverse interests and need to be able to selfselect appropriate material and to learn to read at their own pace. Independent reading can also teach them that reading can be enjoyable— and rewarding.

At-level Material: For reluctant and struggling readers, material must not only be meaningful and engaging, but must be at an appropriate reading level. Students who struggle with comprehension and vocabulary will have difficulty connecting to the text.

Providing novels that reluctant readers have the skills to read to completion allows them to enjoy success in reading. This success instills confidence, encourages further reading, and can be a catalyst for improved student behavior.

If we can get reluctant readers to enjoy books, we have the opportunity to teach the skills they require to improve their comprehension.

Quality fiction that supports students at their reading level provides the best opportunity to motivate students to read.

That’s where Orca Book Publishers comes in…

The Orca Soundings were developed in 2002 in response to requests from teachers and librarians for books that appeal to teen reluctant readers. The goal was to develop a series that fosters an appreciation for reading and motivates students to move on to more challenging books.

With reading levels between grade 2.0 and grade 4.5, these books present themes that appeal to teen readers while being simple enough in terms of construction and plot development that less-confident readers can succeed in mastering reading.

With the success of the Orca Soundings, other series were created for reluctant readers in middle school (Orca Currents), for students interested in sports (Orca Sports) and for adults (Rapid Reads).

“Orca Soundings are my first choice when shopping for reluctant teen readers. The stories are extremely relevant. When students tell me they hate reading and all the books are boring, I take them to my Orca shelf. Once they try one Orca Soundings title, they want to read them all!”

—Tori Jensen, Media Specialist, John Glenn Middle School, MN

“When I was the YA librarian at Hays Public Library, our first few copies of the Orca Soundings series needed little booktalking. They disappeared off the shelves, grabbed eagerly by teens drawn in by the appealing covers and discreet paperback size. Teens who ordinarily wouldn’t call themselves readers became regular patrons because of their love for Orca Soundings!”

—Erin Downey Howerton, School Liaison, Johnson County Library Overland Park, KS

“I have been sold on the Orca Soundings line ever since I purchased the first titles in 2003. I have been talking it up for several years to both public and school librarians and parents! It is the only series I know that combines a low reading level with a wide variety of topics interesting to teen readers. Teens are able to experience both a reading success and a great read!

—Patricia Foster, Salt Lake Co. Library System, Riverton, UT
