He may also prefer to read non-fiction like 'top trumps' cards and football facts. Or reading online stuff on computer/phone. My bro wouldn't read as a boy but does now, like so many others. You've set the example, (so has Mr Rosen) that's all we can do. Making reading seem like work or an obligation is a sure way to put them off for longer so you've clearly done the right thing by having books to trip over left about the place!Lydia Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328239009863878547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-15120176249314909242015-03-03T10:58:53.040+00:002015-03-03T10:58:53.040+00:00i wrote wagstaffe the wind-up boy for my eleven-ye...i wrote wagstaffe the wind-up boy for my eleven-year-old son because he'd never read a book in his life. he read it a dozen times on the trot. since then? he's never read another book. plays football, though...<br />conclusion? search me.Jan Needlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823078224282953782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-29050590012809810582015-03-03T09:52:45.709+00:002015-03-03T09:52:45.709+00:00I love this!

By the way, don't worry about the reading. I had a nine year old who wouldn't read novels once upon a time. House full of books and still only liked illustrated non-fiction mostly about disasters, shipwrecks, exploding airships and so on. Now, some 20 years later, he's a professional video game designer and maintains the early interest in disasters was all about creating video game scenarios! (And he reads for pleasure as well.)
