AlbakiReads Editorial

A playful guide to getting through reading time

Beth Bacon frames the challenge of reading when you would rather be doing something else around a familiar 20-minute assignment. The highly visual chapter-book format is designed to make that time feel more manageable, using humor to acknowledge frustration and give reluctant readers a sense of success. Its subject is not simply books and libraries, but the experience of being asked to read when reading feels like a chore.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 who find reading frustrating or unappealing
  • Young readers facing a set reading-time routine
  • Adults seeking a humorous, highly visual book to share with reluctant readers

Book overview

I Hate Reading is a highly visual paper-over-board chapter book designed to help even the most reluctant reader breeze through reading time, feel successful at reading, and even laugh! Get reluctant readers reading with I Hate Reading!

OK. So, you have to read for 20
minutes, but you don't want to. Maybe your mom or dad or teacher even has a timer--yikes!

If you have to read, but you don't
like reading, this book is for you! If someone's bugging you to open a book,
grab this one. In this book, you'll zoom through 20 minutes of
reading . . . without really reading!

Did you know that 65% of 4th graders in the US read below grade level? Learning to read can be frustrating. But it can also be fun. I Hate Reading by Beth Bacon validates the experience of reluctant readers and rewards them with laughter.
