My Weird School 21-Book Box Set Paperback – October 11, 2011

I was so excited to see these arrive. The Weird School series is one of my favorites for getting reluctant readers excited about reading. Who wouldn't love a classroom book that starts out, "Hi. My name is AJ and I hate school!" This series has the kids in stitches! It reinforces that reading can be fun.

I love the value of the mult-book packages.

7 year old grandson getting ready to take off reading and 9 year old grandson (reads a whole book himself) and 4 year old grandson just loved sitting and listening to the stories. So funny and relatable to the school aged kiddos. Blends in some educational matter without realizing. Many laughs and undivided attention to the stories. Great great book series.

Our son has dyslexia and struggles with reading. My Weird School is funny and comical for our 3rd grader. In regards to lexile reading levels, My Weird School is a level above the Cam Jansen series. There are a few words in the paragraph that he has to stop and sound out but for the most part he reads beautifully without any help. The best is that he is laughing, enjoying reading and wants to finish the book.

Great condition and fast shipping. It’s a great set for a 7 year old needing to do chapter books. Funny and engaging, he always wants to keep reading

I have a 7 yo son in second grade who is a reluctant reader and has been on the cusp of falling behind. Normally we will read together, every other page, and he still requires a lot of redirection. I’m honestly been a fight.I ordered this book set because his class was having a reading challenge and I was hoping for something that would fall in his reading level. Well, it has been going better than I expected. It was still a struggle with the first book but by the time we got through the second he has been reading on his own. He is more than keeping up with his reading challenge and he declares he likes the books!I will admit there is some things I don’t love- the I hate school and the main character being annoyed by the “know it all” girl in class doesn’t completely sit well with me. But I’m willing to over look it and understand it’s part of what my son relates too. It will obviously not work for everyone so it’s best to know upfront.

So, my son is (was?) not an avid reader by any meassure. However, when he asked me to get him this series, I immediately ordered this. He goes through these books like there's no tomorrow, and constantly comments on them. I wanted him to acquire the habit of reading, and it was a loosing uphill battle, unitl I got him this series. All 3 packs of books, and he's on his second round of reading them.Kids seem to enjoy this line, and I will be looking for more series from this author.

Funny books, but not always nice.. calling each other dumb heads and cry babies wasn’t what I expected when I bought these to read to my 6 year old. I also didn’t expect the kid to insist he hates school and how useless he finds it. He still likes the books, but we had to talk about being nice to our friends and what parts of the books were mean.There are also a few typos throughout the books. It’s been amusing to find all the errors, but I can’t see how that will help my kid become a better reader or speller. I added a couple examples I found yesterday and today.
