Reading is so important, yet it is often a challenge to get reluctant readers to pick up a book. What I have found, as a parent to three boys, is that finding the right kind of book for beginner and reluctant readers is central to motivation. And for my kiddos the best books were silly, funny, and relatable.
The following recommendations are based on what my kids actually read and enjoyed. Not just the ones listed, but the whole series. So whether your child is a beginner, reluctant, or struggling, you’re bound to find something here.
Thanks to my son, Zack, for compiling this list. He’s read all these books and many, many more. And if there is a must have book that we’re missed, please let us know and we’ll add it.
Happy reading!

Finding gifts for tweens and teenagers can be hard to do if they like gaming. There are a lot of things that you need to research to find out whether or not they are worth buying. As a teen gamer myself, I’ve already done this research so you don’t have to! This list is great for parents, siblings, or friends who have tweens or teenagers who like gaming. All of these would be great gifts for gamers.

This Keyboard I would highly recommend. Most good quality Mechanical gaming keyboards can be very expensive, whilst the cheaper ones might break more easily or just not work as well. This Redragon K552 Mechanical gaming keyboard is relatively cheap, only $44, yet it has very good quality to it. It has a solid stainless steel frame and Cherry MX Blue Switches. The switches have that satisfying clicky feel, though it is really loud so if you want a quieter keyboard this is not the keyboard for you. Being only 44 dollars it does have some flaws, one being that the the lighting in the background is somewhat limited. Another flaw would be the space bar. This keyboard’s space bar is a little rattly and loose, but that isn’t a huge problem when using the keyboard.
I would highly recommend this mouse. This mouse is really good quality for only $17. It has RGB and removable weights. I’ve seen some mixed reviews on this mouse, but I own this mouse myself and can say that it’s pretty good. The mouse is a bit light even with all of the weights in, but that should not matter too much. This mouse does have mixed reviews for its texture though. Some people do not like the sand-paper like grip it has, but it is not too uncomfortable and it doesn’t make your hands sore.
This Jialong mouse pad is great for gaming. It is big enough to fit your whole desk and can fit your keyboard and mouse on with extra space if necessary for maximum comfortability. The bottom of the mouse pad has a non-slip rubber base so it won’t slide around, while the top of the mouse pad is non-friction material so gamers can slide their mouse around with ease while the keyboard won’t slip. It costs around $14, so a good price for a huge mouse pad.
The Skytech Shiva gaming PC is one of the best pre-built gaming PCs out there. It has an AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Nvidia RTX 2060, 16GB DDR4, 500G SSD, and RGB fans. It comes in a white case and the fans RGB really work well with the white case. It operates on windows 10. You can play games such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, and CSGO on 1080p with high to ultra-resolution and getting 60+ fps. With uncapped settings, games can reach upwards of 300 fps. This PC has a price of $1,300, so it is pretty expensive, but being a gaming PC with the graphics card and hard drive it is a fair price and is really amazing.
The Centaurus Andromeda A5 gaming PC is amazing. It has an AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB 3000MHz Ram, Nvidia GTX 1660 6GB, 1TB SSD, and Windows 10 pro. Not only is this PC great for gaming, but can also be used for video editing, 3D modeling, and computer rendering. It also has two RGB fans on the side and it comes in a black case. It can achieve high fps on max settings without being stuttery. This PC comes at a price of around $1,100, which is a really good price for this computer considering what it features inside.

This keyboard’s space bar is a little rattly and loose, but that isn’t a huge problem when using the keyboard.
The RK61 Royal Kludge keyboard is an amazing keyboard, it is wireless, but can also be wired if necessary. Plus, you can connect this keyboard to phones, iPads, computers and more. It has a battery life of up to 10 hours when using the lights, but can last an astonishing 2 days with the lights off. This keyboard also has Cherry MX Blue Switches, making it pretty loud, but still satisfying. It only has several colors for its back light, but you can change the back-lit modes to make it look cooler. This keyboard is a bit more pricey at the price of about $80, but that is still relatively cheap for a wired/wireless 60% mechanical keyboard.
The Razer Ornata Chroma keyboard is probably one of the better gaming keyboards out there. This keyboard is a bit pricey ranging from $80-$100 but makes up for it in its quality. The key switches are mecha-membrane switches. These particular switches are membrane keys made to feel like mechanical switches, so they have that nice clicky sound, but a smooth feel to them. The key-caps on this keyboard are shorter than most key-caps, but that shouldn’t make it any more difficult to game or type with, in fact, some people may prefer the shorter keycaps. This keyboard also has Chroma RGB lighting. It has over 16.8 million colors on individually backlit keys. The Razor Ornata also features a wrist rest, so if wrist soreness in gaming or typing is a problem this wrist rest would be very useful. The wrist rest is magnetic so if you do not feel the need to have it on there you can just detach it. As well as that, this wrist rest is supposed to be one of the comfiest wrist rests out there, having a soft leatherette to maximize your comfort, whether it be gaming or typing.
I highly recommend this mouse. This mouse is really good quality for only about $17. It has RGB and removable weights. I’ve seen some mixed reviews on this mouse, but I own this mouse myself and can say that it’s pretty good. The mouse is a bit light even with all of the weights in, but that should not matter too much. This mouse does have mixed reviews for its texture though. Some people do not like the sand-paper like grip it has, but it is not too uncomfortable and it doesn’t make your hands sore.
The Razer Deathadder V2 is an amazing mouse. The Deathadder has 8 programmable buttons and rubberized side grips. It also has Chroma RGB lighting with over 16.8 million colors. This mouse features optical switches for the mouse clicks tested for over 70 million clicks rather than 50 million clicks in mechanical mouse switches. This mouse also has a braided cord so it is stronger and the cord is drag-free so when gaming or just using this mouse there will be less friction than other cords. The feet of this mouse are also different using PFTE so there is less drag when using it. This mouse is right-handed though so if you are left-handed I would not recommend buying this mouse. The Deathadder V2 costs a total of $69.99. The whole thing weighs about 82 grams, so its pretty light, and has a 20k DPI Optical sensor.
The Logitech G502 is a great mouse. It has removable weights with all the weights weighing in at 18 grams with 5, 3.6-gram weights. The weights are centered so the center of gravity for the mouse doesn’t feel weird. It has one of the highest DPI’s, maxing at 16,000 DPI. The G502 also has 11 programmable buttons and showcases RGB lighting. It has fully customizable RGB lighting so there is a lot you can do with that. The G502 has mechanical switches for its left and right mouse clicks. This mouse costs around $90 so it is pretty expensive for a mouse, but if you want a better gaming experience this mouse is excellent.
The GTRACING gaming chair is one of the best gaming chairs on the market, with a strong metal frame that keeps comfortability for long hours of gaming. This chair’s armrest and backrest are adjustable with 90-170 degrees reclining and 360 degrees swivel. This chair has smooth PU leather making it comfortable to move around in so it does not make you sore. It has nylon smooth-rolling casters for easy mobility. This chair costs around $150 which is pretty expensive for just a chair, but if you are looking for an amazing gaming experience this is the perfect chair for you.
This chair is a great budget gaming chair. It has most of the features of most gaming chairs, like having soft leather and can swivel and recline, but at a much cheaper price. This chair is still pretty expensive at around $90, but that is pretty cheap compared to the $150 counterparts. This chair is also really easy to assemble as it is able to be built in under 15 minutes.
This 24-inch Sceptre monitor is perfect for gaming cheaply. It comes with a wall-mount and a stand depending on how you want to place your monitor. It is 75 Hz and supports Windows 10. The curved screen gives an amazing visual experience. At around $130 it is one of the cheaper gaming monitors, although it is still quite expensive.
The Asus VG278QR gaming monitor is great. It has 1080p full HD and has 165 Hz. This monitor is 27 inches and has extremely low motion blur. It also has eye care so your eyes won’t get sore from gaming a lot. It comes at the price of about $320, which is pretty expensive for just a monitor, but it has amazing features that make up for the pricing.
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is a great headset. It features a noise cancelling microphone and has soft breathable leatherette for maximum comfort. It has adjustable bass sliders and a very durable aluminium frame. It comes with two types of headphone covers, one is leatherette and the other is a soft kind of fuzzy one. This headset also has a braided cable so it wont break that easy. This headset comes in at around $130 so it is quite expensive for a headset, but its features and the quality of it make up for the price.
This mouse pad is a good way to brighten up your setup. It is a large mouse pad, intended for it to take up the whole desk or a large amount of area. You can fit your keyboard on it and use your mouse with extra space. The material it uses has very low friction so you can use your mouse with ease.

This cool gaming accessory can help maximize your comfort whilst gaming. Sometimes, while gaming, your arms can get tired and these armrests clip onto your desk so they are the right height as your desk so you can rest your arms on them without being at an uncomfortable height to game. There’s no need to assemble the wrist extender as it comes pre-made. Just clamp the screws onto the table and you’re ready to go! You don’t need to assemble this thing as it comes pre-made. All you need to do is clamp the screws onto the table and it is ready.

It costs around $14, so a good price for a huge mouse pad.
This Xbox one controller skin is a fun way to add to an Xbox controller, which normally don’t come in that many variations. Not only does the skin make it look better visibly, but it can also help you when playing as it adds a lot of grip to the controller. This controller skin comes at around $13, so its a good price for a silicone grip with a cool design on it.

It comes at the price of $15, which is a good price to pay to keep your set-up neat and organized.

Coding can be hard to learn and often not very engaging for kids (or adults), but this selection of apps helps kids learn how to code in fun and interactive ways.
We’ve selected highly rated coding apps that cater to a range of ages from pre-readers to teens (and adults), with age-based recommendations that you can use as a rough guide. (Many adults new to programing will enjoy some of the game and puzzle based apps, while young, but motivated coders, may enjoy more complex coding apps.) Also, while many apps are available on both Android and Apple devices, they are usually available as web-based programs too. Finally, cost. We’ve included a couple of free apps, but most coding apps are subscription-based (be aware that most auto-renew!) and may seem expensive when compared to other educational apps.
Have we missed one? Let us know. Enjoy!

Ready, Set, Splat! In this Paint Splat app, which features the hilariously quirky duck, Quack and his plucky robin friend, Chirp, kids make Quack jump on paint tubes to mix colors on the fence. Watch out for the hose!
Paint Splat offers kids the opportunity to experiment with mixing colors or match a color Chirp holds up a on a card. If the color orange, purple or green (which make up the secondary color group) is successfully created, Chirp offers some of the harder-to-mix tertiary colors. Like many of our games, this one gets harder only if the player is succeeding.
By tapping on the paint tubes, players can make Quack squirt up to two blobs of blue, yellow, and red paint onto a fence. Tapping on the hose washes the paint off, enabling kids to have a fresh start.
Kids can experiment with mixing whatever colors they like or they can try to match the color Chirp holds up.
