For a long time, korkor kept asking me what's the fun reading books with just words and without pictures at all when he sees me engrossed in novels. I'm now reading Sidney Sheldon's "Are you afraid of the dark?", borrowed from our playcenter library.
I tried explaining to him that it's really quite enjoyable. Painting the scene out in the mind, appreciating the beauty in the play of words, knowing how the feelings of the casts. It's intriguing, to say the least.
And I have tried to pull him into the world of reading these pictures-less books, but failed. That is, until today. Yay! I successfully did it finally! Made him read an Enid Blyton "The mystery of the secret room" and he was so engrossed with it that he pleaded with me to let him read on when it's his bedtime approaching. He loves it! I hope he would read more rather than play computer games during the school holidays.

Ya, well done! Enid Blyton's Famous Five series would be interesting for him to read as well, I would think. Hopefully he will develop a passion for reading.
