Are you looking for engaging readers for your middle to upper elementary kids? It’s hard to find books that get reluctant readers interested and finding Geronimo Stilton books was like finding buried treasure in the library (Geronimo would really appreciate that simile).
You’ll love the craft and book ideas here on Tina’s Dynamic Homeschool Plus for the Geronimo Stilton series.
These books are a favorite in our house.
It took me a while to find books that my son looked forward to reading without nagging or prodding from me.
When we stumbled upon them, I was thrilled to have found something that kept his attention and motivated him to read on his own.
It’s a big milestone when your kid finally grabs a book of their choice and plops down to read it. These were those books for us.
He plowed through them. In fact, these were the first books he asked to buy. One year his wish list was full of Geronimo Stilton titles. How sweet, right?
