Books kids can read and want to read

Books for reluctant and struggling readers

HIP novels appeal to teen and preteen readers at all levels, but they are particularly helpful as literacy support and reading intervention for struggling and reluctant readers in Grades 4-12. Whether your students have reading difficulty or not, HIP novels are an excellent addition to any school or classroom library.

What Teachers are Saying about HIP Books

  • Thank you so much! My special needs 5th grade students (boys) are so excited about [HIP Fantasy]. All their friends are reading Harry Potter and that series is just too difficult for them. They were scared when I first showed them The Last Dragon book, saying they weren’t interested in it, when in fact, they were scared they couldn’t read it. After the first few pages, they were hooked! I caught my one boy doodling “Kain” during the State test. To me, that was the biggest signal to me that they loved the book!
