I love having a reader for a son! I was an avid reader when I was growing up. Jacob struggled with reading when he was young, and I despaired of him being "a reader> However, after Reading Recovery and Title 1 in school and me reading to him for years, one of his favorite pasttimes is now reading.
We have read several books and series together and now he is finishing up the Eragon series that we started many years ago. The new (and last) book was out and he could not wait until his birthday or Christmas to get it, so I got it for him before we left to go to Missouri for Thanksgiving.
Now instead of getting on his computer & checking Fox News before he goes to school, he is reading the 800+ page book.
I was always in trouble for reading during classtime when I was in school but I haven't gotten any complaints about him. Does that mean that he follows the rules, he's just better at hiding it, or the teachers are so excited to have a student quietly reading in class instead of mouthing that they don't complain?

Teresa, I love reading also, my son Andrew does too. I think reading to them is the very best thing a mom or dad can do.
