TARGET: I am an 8th grade teacher, training to be a librarian, and I have several
boys who are reluctant readers and if they do read it is about hunting; deer
hunting, bow hunting etc. Any ideas for titles that are successful in getting these
boys to read?
HIT: Many thanks to all who suggested books/magazines. I got a lot of wonderful
suggestions.
Here is a list of the information:
Basically all of the books by Gary Paulson
Sees Behind Trees by Michael Dorris
Skeeter by Kay Jordan Smith
Swallowing Stones by Joyce MacDonald?
The Education of Little Tree by Carter
Deathwatch by Robb White
Caribou Crossing by Mel Ellis
Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson
Alaska Bear Tales by Larry Kaniut
Moose Tracks by Mary Casanova.
Where the Red Fern Grows by Rawls
Lion Hound by Kjelgaard (although the reading level may be high)
My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George
Indian Creek Chronicles by Pete Fromm
Additional authors:
Thomas Dygard may have a title which will fit. The closest in my
collection are River Danger and Wilderness Peril which are set in the
woods but not about hunting.
Will Hobbs
Francis Tucket
Magazines like Field and Stream, American Angler and Minnesota Sportsman
Capstone www.capstonepress.com <http://www.capstonepress.com/>
Press offers The Great Outdoors series. It includes the following titles:
Bow hunting, Deer hunting, Duck hunting, Pheasant hunting...etc. Heinemann
