Hi, I have been on this list since since the late 90's, 97 or 98. I
usually just read through the postings and hardly ever make a comment.
But, I have a twelve year old that has been struggling with reading,
mostly comprehension. He can read fine, but can't tell you about
anything that he just read.
About a 6 months ago he came into my library and said he needed a book
to read and wanted to know if he could read one of mine. He looked
through the shelves and asked to read Silverthorn, so I told him he had
to start at the beginning with Magician. He is now on Mistress of the
Empire and hasn't shut up about them since the day he started.
His teacher called the other day to tell us what an amazing change there
is in his reading. When I told him I was proud of him my wife asked me
if I was proud of him for doing so much better and finding something
that interested him enough to get him to read or if it was because he
chose Feist to be interested in...... I honestly don't know !!!
Anyway Ray I can't thank you enough !!!! He may have eventually found a
book that interested him.... or not... but either way it was your
writing that pulled him into the world of reading !!! Thanks !!!

P.S. .... could you start writing math problems ?????
