[quote=Anonymous]Mom to another avid reader. DS is now 12, but has loved to read for a long time so we've found lots of things to help keep his interest. As an obsessive reader when I was a child myself I'm happy he continues to love to read (as I know for boys especially that isn't always the case). He put together his own "March madness" bracket of favorite books for his classmates/friends to read and while he loves to write his follow-through is not the best. We have lots of unfinished stories. Once he discovered poetry he started to enjoy writing more (easier to finish a poem than a whole novel!)

We are big fans of Cricket media magazines. We did Ask and Click when he was younger, but starting at around 4th grade switched to Muse and Cricket.  https://shop.cricketmedia.com/

You may also want to look into Duke's TIP program. They have an online book club and online magazine. My kiddo has no interest in doing the book club but it looks interesting. They also have some weekend camps throughout the year as well as summer camps and other online programs. Since you can submit standardized testing scores (we used CogAT scores from school testing) it's pretty easy to apply to the program.  https://tip.duke.edu/programs/4th-6th-grade-talent-search[/quote]
