Welcome - wackywag.com. Primary Literacy - Fiction titles. Digital Education Services - Products. Childrens - Teachers and Librarians. Dear Teachers and Librarians, Like you, we believe in the importance of literacy for kids.
We know getting kids to read is best done by giving them books that they want to read – ones that appeal to their own interests and reflect their daily lives. That's why we are careful to publish books with themes and issues that resonate with Canadian kids and teens today and why we publish them in series. There's comfort and familiarity in a series, making them easier for you to recommend and more likely for kids to want to keep reading. Take some time to browse this website, and you'll find terrific fiction from emerging voices in Canadian children's literature and many by well-known veterans. . — Christie Harkin, associate publisher, childrens and teens — James Lorimer, publisher Dedicated Websites We've built dedicated websites to give you more on our books and series, teacher guides, additional resource material for students, photos, excerpts and more.

Students who are struggling readers typically find that they are not interested in reading ‘long boring books’ that their teachers assign to them.
One way to get these struggling readers to read would be to engage them with child focused, high quality magazines. There are many magazines that are geared for the younger readers. The short articles with games, puzzles, and crafts can help to engage the reader to learn more about that specific topic or subject. Some magazines that young readers will be interested in are Ranger Rick, Your Big Backyard, Zoobooks, Sports Illustrated for Kids, National Geographic for Kids, Highlights and American Girl. These magazines should be included in a comprehensive classroom library. When these students read about a specific topic they are interested in, they can then find other books, both fiction and non-fiction, about that same or similar topic – in essence making the transition from magazine to book.
