LOL same. And yet he scores over 90% on MAP-R reading so not pushing it.

Senior reads constantly, all good books and current events.

7th grader reads, but not what I want her to read. Tried to push literature in our native language, and it was like pulling teeth... finally I was surprised that she liked an author who writes like Edgar Allen Poe - suspense and a bit morbid. So I guess Edgar Allen Poe is next, and maybe Hound of the Baskervilles, things like that.

Question should probably be how many book did your DC/DS comprehend?

Enjoyed the whole summer in preparation for hard work ahead.

My 8 yo loves to read. She averaged around 75-100 pages a day. She blew through the Harry Potter series, Percy Jackson, The Little Princess and others she picked from the library that I can't recall.

11-year-old read about 3 novels. Mostly stuff like the Hobbit.

About 10, but they were all graphic novels. I would've preferred chapter books, but I'll take what I can get.

About 5

.5 a book each.

Zero. Neither of my kids like to read, unfortunately.

No idea…. 10 yo reads at night before bed. No idea how many books total, some wee from library, some were her own.

My kid is in private school and he only read the 2 books that were assigned.

Rising first read at least 10 books that I bought her or she got from the library but she also did a lot of reading in bed from her bookshelf. Of course these are short books (Salem Hyde, Zoey & Sasafras, Narwal & Jelly) but she has a love of reading and I’m thrilled beyond belief
