How exciting! And his younger brother isn't far behind (I'll be posting his book soon!)
"I survived the Japanese Tsunami, 2011" by Lauren Tarshis
Kadyn loves this series of "I survived" books. Scholastic publishing provides this for school age kids and I highly recommend them! They teach and keep the younger reader engaged.
Also, get your kids involved in reading! I challenged my boys to read as many books in a year and at the end of that year I would pay them a dollar for every book read! Now....I know that no amount of money can be placed on the value and enjoyment of simply reading, but here is what I've observed since challenging my 9 and 11 year old.
*excitement to read
*a shift in excitement for the book rather than the money.
*they can't wait to read AND they have a hard time putting the books down!
Yes...I was tricky. Whatever it takes! ; )
