[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 61523, member: 1161"] It's hard to get my difficult child to read. It has to be a book or subject he likes, or no way. What I did was take him to the book store, the section for his age, and at the time he was into ghost stories so pointed him at the shelves containing books like that (mostly "true" ghost stories), and let him choose. It got him reading. Then he was looking one day at the school library for a book (they're required to have one for quiet reading time)and he found a book about vampires called Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan - and he read the whole 12 book series, and in the last month has read 3 and is on the 4th in Shan's new demon series. This is a kid who'll take a zero mark at school and get in trouble rather than read a book he doesn't like. The book covers are pretty creepy (so's Shan's website LOL), and I haven't read them but I'm into Stephen King and Dean Koontz so there you go LOL but I figure they were in the library at school so can't be too graphic. You could try that - take him to the library or bookstore and find the young adult books and and the section that has the subject he's into and let him browse. [/QUOTE]
