and you won't believe what he's reading!!

My son is turning 12 in a couple of weeks, and he does not enjoy reading at all! Reading is usually a torchure.

He listen to a radio talk show my husband listen to all the time: The Michael Savage Show. My son thought it was funny and very interesting (he likes politics) so he asked me to get him a book by him.
Even though I was sure he would never be able to read it (he likes books with lots of pictures and big printing) I got one at the library.
Well, I'll be darn!!! He can't put the book down he loves it soo much.
That's crazy!!!
It has been such a joy watching him reading with pleasure. I thought I would never see the day.

I just had to tell the world my son is finally reading. Thank you for listening.

Simona,

What encouragement your post is to me. My 10 year old son is still not reading. We struggle over this every single day. I needed a little renewal in the Hope Department.
