Jones books. I'll hear him cackling in the other room as he reads about her crazy antics! <br /><br />And of course, you always have poop to fall back on. Boys like reading gross stuff! Find a book on poop and toots and you're gold! LOLJessica R.

And now I can't get a book out of his hands (unless he's holding the Nintendo controller...) <br /><br />The key...his sister was a voracious reader, and she wanted to share the stories she was reading with him. So she read aloud to him, book after book. The Boxcar Children, The Magic Treehouse, and so many more. <br /><br />I got to be the flashcard, sound-it-out, read this to me so I know you're making progress reading police, and between the two of us, I think it worked. :DErica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382788893842947767.post-13828672149853524272012-07-19T08:02:34.379-07:002012-07-19T08:02:34.379-07:00My husband always tells the story of how he hated ...My husband always tells the story of how he hated to read. In third grade, his mom let him pick out "any" book on "any" subject that he was interested in. Um...he picked Ulysses S. Grant - I know...I know...but he devoured the book and it got him reading. After that, he searched for every history book he could get his hands on. The rest is "history" so-to-speak. He credits his mom for allowing him to read something he was interested in.Loree Huebnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845600356878587780noreply@blogger.com
