[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 110853, member: 831"] Jannie, The reason is that difficult child is typical for his age. In fact, boys his age through middle school are the subject of numerous trainings and workshops for librarians. There are exceptions, but for the most part, they DO NOT LIKE TO READ NOVELS. That he's reading plenty of non-fiction is great. I wish teachers (teachers on this forum please don't be mad at me) would back off reading "novels", or "good literature" at this age except what they read in class. I don't get the problem with the books on tape. I love the world record books, comic books, and Mad Magazine, when I was that age and it only fostered my love of reading as an adult. [/QUOTE]
