I am trying to get my 6 year old son to read more. I read to him different types of books and a lot of them he is able to read on his own. There are certain books he likes and certain ones he would rather not listen to. I still have not figures out what exactly he likes more , which types of stories because if varies from day to day and from book to book. One day he wants to read about superheroes and the other day I see he wants a book with giant dinosaurs or something of that sort.

Yesterday I went to Barnes and Nobles to see what else I can introduce to my son. I would like to start him on a series of books. I think its something very exciting when you read the first book and you want to go on and read the next one and the one after that because it captures your attention. The series that I chose to start with is called Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. There were so many choice and after spending some time in the store I requested some help because I was not sure what would be appropriate for his age. I saw a lot of series books but most were for girl and then a sales person from that section suggestion Flat Stanley to me and said its one of he popular ones and enjoyed by kids.

We started on it last night. I hope he will catch on to it. Its all about a little boy and his adventures. I hope he will make an attempt to read this on his own butt for now even if he just wants to listen to it that’s ok also because it brings out his imagination and gives him the ability to discuss it with me and it promotes the skill of being able to understand and retell the story.
