The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame
For my multimedia lesson, I chose to focus on a book that has continually popped up on book lists throughout my research on reluctant readers at the elementary level. The book is titled, The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame. The story is about the friendship between a little boy and a dragon who both recite poetry. This book was written in 1898 and was eventually made into an animated movie by Walt Disney in 1941. I found a copy of the actual movie on YouTube. It is a short movie that runs about 10 minutes in length. This story is also offered as an audio book which is great for reluctant readers. The movie would be a perfect supplement to an elementary librarian who has read and discussed the book with students.
I found information about The Reluctant Dragon on www.google.com by entering "reluctant readers." Google.com gave a listing under Wikipedia and a link to YouTube. This movie will be appealing to younger students.
