I have added your blog to our school library web site so that the children there (especially boys) can share in your experience and recommendations (I can also consider these for future purchases) working together, we can teach others about the joy of reading :)Body, Mind and Soul: Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000322101320334211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190291191777753473.post-15493928498728639932012-09-26T00:23:07.738+01:002012-09-26T00:23:07.738+01:00Great Blog Matthew - although i am old and crumbli...Great Blog Matthew - although i am old and crumblie and .... a girl. I shall stop by to get your opinion on what is good to read. Totally agree that is is great to have a book read aloud. One of my friends from university now works as an actor making talking books - what a great job! So why not check out some talking books as well. My favourite ones are the Harry Potter books read by Stephen Fry. Keep up the good work CaraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979106027305058581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190291191777753473.post-54680431435835826692012-09-23T10:52:57.074+01:002012-09-23T10:52:57.074+01:00Don't forget Tintin!

I started borrowing the books from the library when I was about 6 and I've never stopped re-reading them - as you get older, you find new jokes in them, but the basic plots are easy for younger readers to follow. (I have the entire Tintin collection now and still re-read them every couple of years!)Gretelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399585879728373265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190291191777753473.post-39402539124558997272012-09-23T10:35:40.270+01:002012-09-23T10:35:40.270+01:00Hi Nordie, Thanks for replying.

I do have comics but my mum always complains on how much they are and that you can buy a book for the same price. I know reading is hard which is why I want to try and help boys get into it more.Matthew Swainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05431841086482531654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190291191777753473.post-58397946825991653362012-09-23T10:25:38.157+01:002012-09-23T10:25:38.157+01:00Hi there and good luck.

Graphic Novels (what my parents refer to as "comics"!) are still a valid form of reading - the Beano, the Dandy (whilst it's still around), Asterix, Dan Dare (Is the Eagle still around?) are all decent reading material to pick up. <br /><br />The other Graphic Novels (X Men, 2000AD, Superman, Avengers etc), have some lines that are appropriate to younger readers, but some of their lines are for older children or adults, so not all will be age appropriate. Always talk it through with parents and the booksellers for advice <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190291191777753473.post-56029778847209780902012-09-22T19:30:56.566+01:002012-09-22T19:30:56.566+01:00You are welcome.
