Read like a Ninja
By Andrew Jennings
Introduction by Librarian
Reading can often be a source of anxiety for school children and parents. Are you struggling with reading? Based on the author’s experience and research, reading can be taught step by step like Ninja training. Yes, NINJA Training!
In this beautifully crafted and engaging guidebook, readers will embark on a series of Ninja-themed tasks designed to help them learn common exceptional words, high-frequency words, phrases, sentences and passages. Moreover, they will learn some practical reading comprehension strategies that will enhance their reading skills. This fun and interactive approach transforms the learning process into an exciting adventure!
Andrew Jennings emphasizes that fluency and comprehension are the two most crucial aspects of reading and I couldn’t agree more. If you find yourself pausing too frequently while reading a book, this may be a sign that you do not have the fluency or/and comprehension skills. This could be because there are too many unfamiliar words that impede your reading flow, or you have problems understanding the text, summarizing or recalling what you just read. Regardless of the reasons, these challenges will ultimately make you lose interest in reading.
“Read like a Ninja” can help you tackle reading challenges effectively. You will be trained like a ninja, dedicating practice time to reading and completing small tasks that teach essential reading strategies. I assure you that you will see improvement in your reading skills. This book also includes “Recommended reads checklists” for you to practise after you have learnt the reading skills.
This book does not only aim at training children to become reading ninjas, but also at empowering parents to join the journey. The Parent Zone at the end of the book gives valuable advice and tips for parents to enhance their reading experience together with their children.
