[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I get that a lot of people and kids read "below" their reading level. The other half of the question was about my not particularly liking Big Nate. I like it about as much as I liked Captain Underpants. I think there is a lot of enjoyable reading out there that might be fun for a 10 year old that is not Big Nate. I said I was not going to censor his reading. I was merely puzzled at why he'd go back to reading something he read in 2nd grade and hadn't read since. [/quote] Well, he probably likes it for exactly the reasons you don’t. Forbidden fruit is the sweetest. Like Captain underpants there’s probably something mildly transgressive about it that he’s enjoying. Let him enjoy it.[/quote] He probably reads how you classify him and he’s rebelling. He is not a performing monkey. [/quote]
