I want my 8 year old to read for pleasure, at the moment his only interests are swimming and sitting on the pc for hours, I just feel that reading would be hugely beneficial for him in so many ways.
Trouble is he doesn't like reading, probably because I became a little too obsessed during his first years of school and probably pushed him far too much...he is a brilliant reader though and would be capable of reading most books, he just doesn't like to!
So does anyone have any suggestions on
a) how to encourage him to read for pleasure
b) what books to buy him?
(p.s. Harry Potter is a no no!)
