The school and myself have been encouraging ds to read widely but still not much enthusiasm shown by him. Always told him that reading really helps in his English subject, he will agree with me but no action shown. I guess its too late for him (sec 1) to pick up the habit of reading?

Hi Yen,

Does he like watching movies? If he does, find out which movies are scheduled to be released and get those books for him. Or, do it the other way around, like after watching sherlock holmes, go borrow the entire series of sherlock holmes.

If he prefers short stories, try the reader's digest or national geog. If he doesn't read the daily news, you can cutout interesting newspaper articles for him. Good luck!

Will definitely try out the above-mentioned options for him to read. I guess time mgt is also impt, must squeeze some time out to read (seems llike time not enough).

I work 8 - 2pm Mon to Thurs. Does that make me a member of PTWP? Though I start work at 8am, I wake up at 5am on every school days. (Human alarm clock to my 2 DDs, get them ready, send DD2 to school b4 heading work which is just walking distant)

Yes yes you are one of us. Though we called ourselves PTWP, we r actually FTW for our kids. I also wake up 5.30 to wake my ds1 up and make breakfast for him. Twice, I overslept, and he was late for school! Got him those traditional alarm clock that rings VERY LOUDLY and continuously to wake both us up.

This club quite pathetic… guess not many PTWM. For me, I don’t work everyday, I only work 2 days per week so I’m more like SAHM.
