my son is in the 4th grade, he is crazy about math! Everything math all the time, has been since he discovered it at age 3. At his 1st conference in 1st grade I was prepared for his teacher to say he is ahead in math and behind in reading, nope she asked to put him in 2nd grade math and reading.
Last year he found reading the Diary of the wimpy kid and Captain Underpants series tolerable lol. His teacher wants him to read 30 minutes a day, of course he dreads it but then He just got a couple books in those series that he hasn’t read yet. However his teacher says these are not books! I have spent money on Harry Potter, Ronald Dahl, James Patterson (kid ones) and he has no desire to read them at all. I have even tried to read with him - boring, he will actually ask if we can do math. Of course I’m scared to teach him anymore because they changed math. He loves negativite numbers, division lol
So what do you think? Is diary of the wimpy kid a book? Captain Underpants?
What should I do?
Any ideas on what a good series would be great too - thx
