This week has been a tad crazy as usual but thankfully my body has held up ok. Granted I haven't held much down the last few days for some reason but at least I was able to make it to the kids various schoo Valentine's Day parties.
Today the kids have off of school due to a teacher work day. One of Cynthia's books was finally released so we headed to the library to pick it up and let the kids play on the computers as well as find a book.
Here is where the fun begins. The girls love to read so getting them to read has been fairly easy. Joseph likes picture books but getting him to voluntarily read a chapter book has been challenging. Josh was able to find the Mighty Robot series which he loved but has completely read through leaving us searching for another series for him to get excited about as well. He has read book one of The Hardy Boys secret files but only sort of liked it so on goes my search.
Thankfully I was able to find a chapter book called Scooby-Doo mysteries that he seems willing to try and a Batman chapter book so we'll try these and see what he thinks. At some point he will find a chapter books more appealing, until then I will keep trying to find books he will read, even if they are not chapter books. Reading is reading.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be open to it. He is a reluctant reader but a very good one as his reading level is 2.9 (high 2nd grade) to 4.2 (start of 4th grade).
Until tomorrow....
