Do personalised books encourage reluctant readers?
Via Twitter, Super Nanny, or the people behind the programme, asked their Twitter following if they believed that personalised books encourage reading in reluctant readers.
This is something that interests us, and indeed did interest us as we trawled Twitter for all the children’s literacy information and news we could find.
Personalised books have always been a great gift idea, they have been about for a good while, but now, it appears, they have become more sophisticated, making more appearances on children’s bookshelves and extending to popular children’s characters like Thomas The Tank Engine, and the Mr Men.
We know there will be many parents, and their children, who are in possession of books with lovely stories that feature them, friends, and family – bought as a gift often these things can include the ‘gifter’, as well as the ‘giftee’.
So as well as making great presents, do they engage reluctant readers?
It would be great to think so, and fabulous to hear of stories when they have actually done so.

It’s so important to draw attention to reading, and attract reluctant readers to it,especially boys. In fact, I’ve recently completed a feature magazine article on this subject that came out in October, “Help for Struggling, Reluctant Readers.”
I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much.
My blog, Books for Boys http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is dedicated to drawing attention to the importance of reading.
Keep up your good work.
