Reading Woes

"But Dad! I don't like reading! It's boring and I want action!" Shane said.

My kid acts like I'm torturing him by requiring him to read at least 20 minutes a day.

That kills me.

About the only thing Shane will read without complaint are comics like Garfield.


....and then what he wants to do is read them aloud so you hear and laugh at every joke he likes.

The kid is outrageously social.

So far he seems to like to read the Roald Dahl books and Captain Underpants some, but it's hard to get Shane to read willingly if there are no pictures or no one is sitting right next to him as he does it. He likes to listen to books and be read to, but reading on his own for fun? We're still getting there.
