Why this title? Our son, Caleb, has been reluctant to read anything that his school library offers, or anything else that has been “suggested” to him. That is, until now. He has discovered the Goosebumps series of books and he will read one for quite a stretch of time now. So, our eight year old is reading books for as much as an hour or more at a time. This is a refreshing change from his obsession with video games, as the write ups on the RPGs and FPSs that he plays were the only things that he would devote his attention to. This was not all bad, of course, as he learned some big words like “disembarkation” from these games.
Oh thats so funny! Remember the time you and Caleb came to my apartment and
I was showing off all my emulators including Sonic3D! Caleb was extremely
focused and I remember you said “Oh yeah he’s interested in games.” I have
to admit I wasn’t totally convinced at the time… I was thinking he just likes
the bright colours and action on the computer screen but oh was I wrong!!!!!
Ah, memories! hehe Glad he is reading of course!
R.L. Stine is still scribbling down words! No freaking way.
I don’t know of there’s anything new out there, but Caleb’s found the original stuff in his school library.
i agree
care to elaborate? pretty short comment.
