Who are Billy Books for?
Billy Books are for early readers and children who are unmotivated or struggling to read.
The literacy needs of children in any of these categories are the same: books at their reading level on topics they’re interested in.
Many children who resist reading or seem unmotivated or disinterested do so because they don't want to read the material at their level. It’s not fun, it looks babyish, and it’s not about topics they’re interested in.
Reading with Billy Books solves this problem by offering compelling subject matter—stories about superheroes, sports, graphic novels, and animals—written so children struggling to read can feel successful.
The right book for every child.
Reading with Billy Books aims to provide the right book for every child. The right book means the book they want to read and feel successful reading.
