[quote=Anonymous]I'm a big believer in letting kids read what interests them. Both my boys loved the comics TinTin and Asterix. Also Calvin and Hobbes. They also loved atlases and science books. I read to them every night until they were in high school. Most of our favorites have been mentioned by PPs. Reading aloud, for me, was one of the greatest joys of parenting--snuggling up together with a good book is bliss. My older DS was taught reading and writing by the Lucy Calkins method. As an adult, he is a voracious reader. My younger DS was not taught via the Calkins method (we had moved to a different school system). As an adult, he does not read books for pleasure, sadly. They were both excellent students and are good writers. All this is to say: unless your kid has reading difficulties, I'm not sure you need to be so anxious about something that should be pleasurable. [/quote]
