Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also helpful for reluctant readers is the YALSA list: [link] More diverse than my reading, but a good place to start.
I wouldn't pick "younger" books, because most YA is actually at a low enough level that high school students can read it without a struggle. I'd pick books that are super high interest to mac regardless of level.
Percy Jackson series?
My kids loved the Gary Paulsen books. I've read Hatchet and The River and liked them both, and there are several more in that series. Of course my favorite of his is Winterdance, a (ahem) "howlingly" funny account of training for the Ititarod.
msbelle, are there any books he has liked? Or, if not, any particular subjects/genres you think would appeal to him? Fiction or nonfiction?
He has liked some fantasy stuff mostly. I am offering up stuff like Artemis that I read aloud to him when he was younger so it will familiar.
Matt, that is great. We might actually already have that.
I have mocked up a new chore sheet for the summer and put together sample days of a schedule for him. I tried to balance get up and move things with sit down things. Left him some room for choices (what movie, what book, what subjects on Khan Academy). Now do I give it to him now for thoughts/opinions/input or do I wait to show it to him at therapy next week. He has no idea that summer will run on a pattern of do your stuff in order to get wifi access. No stuff done, no games.
Since he like comics, what about Maus? Pure history and it's brilliantly done.
Brilliant and I have that.
I texted my general thoughts to the counselor.
