DS1 (8) enjoys reading. ATM he goes to bed at 7:30, at the same time as DS2.
DS2 really needs his sleep, DS1 not so much, but he's quite happy to go, so I've kept their bedtimes the same (for as long as I can get away with it) because it makes life easier for everyone.
Once in bed DS1 will often read, also a good reason for him to go early, but he reads such rubbish!
It will be Star Wars comic strips, Horrid Henry or (worst of all) Captain Underpants. I think his reading is reasonably good for his age and certainly don't want to discourage him, but I do wish he'd read something with a bit more quality. He has read some Roald Dahl, but isn't over keen and enjoyed the Iron Man, but mostly keeps returning to Captain Underpants, which, apart from anything else, has some horrible language in it, which he will repeat!
What did your boys progress onto after HH or Captain U?
