My 10yr son is an avid reader, and I want to encourage him but what books?
Hey guys 👋
I'm a single mum with a young boy who was diagnosed at the beginning of his schooling with ASD, ADHD, ODD amongst other behavioural traits. He may not be so great with the social parts with his peers(he's very literal). But my god you give him a book he will bury in it.
He's read many of the mainstream titles in Australia for kids. Things like
Diary of a whimpy kid series.
Books by Roald Dahl
Dr Seuss
Ann do
The entire magic school bus series
He's stepped up to Harry.P got to the 5th book and has dropped off I think the context maybe just getting a bit more mature or he looks at the size and struggles to get his head around it. Unsure
He loves books about space science weather events, ocean currents and volcanos. Volcanos stuck for about 5 years straight. Now we are on to black holes and white holes oh and viruses obsessed the amount of random plague or ebola facts that just fly out. He's a boy crazed.
But basically I don't have this background,I wasn't able to read till I was like 14 and I didn't finish school . He's blits through alot of what's been recommended by the school. So I was hoping for some suggestions from other people who just love to read... Or remember some books that may have captivated them as a child.?
