Inside the ADHD Mind: Why I Was a Disruptive Reluctant Reader and How to Help Us, Along With the Rest of the Classroom, to WANT to Read

**NEW THIS YEAR** Award-winning children’s author and reading motivation expert, Jeff Nathan, provides unique ADHD insight, delving into why the inattentive mind wanders (and to where) and why that often leads to reading reluctance. That introduction is the same beloved piece he has given for the past decade at RFTLOI. This year, however, he diverts to provide not just the recipe for getting reluctant middle readers excited about reading but will even provide the key ingredient to you, using his zany humor to get points across. A key focus is how the second half of the reluctant reader equation has changed over time and how it can be solved now so they beg to read.
