I teach intensive reading in 9 - 12th grade. My students are very reluctant to read. I took a chance with Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They seem to enjoy the short exerpts in the book and the humor. My almost eight year old is in second grade and loves the Wimpy Kid series. She laughs out loud while reading from them. The third one is a Diary that she can also write in and she is enjoying that very much.
I have a 12 year old son who has been reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid books since before he first movie was ever released. My son also has a mild form of autism and he finds the characters in these novels to be very animated and fun. The main character, Gregory, always seems to find himself in some kind of shenanigan with his best friend, Roderick. I think these stories are great. I wish there were more authors that were writing for little boys of this 12 to 14 mid-age group. My son has already finished reading this novel and started once again on the next one. Thank you for carrying a great children's novel.
According to my 10 year old son, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is very good and extremely funny. It is a book that you want to finish without putting it down. These books make you want to read. There is absolutely nothing that I don't like about the books and I highly recommend them to other kids my age and older. I decided to buy the book because my teacher intoduced the books to my fourth grade class and after hearing about them at my school I wanted a copy for my very own. These books are great and that means alot since I attend a private Christian school and the principal and teachers highly recommend these books too. Don't take my opinion...check them out for yourself and I'm sure you will love them as much as I do.
This is a great way of getting your kids to read with minimal pictures. My daughter has read the entire series and she is in 2nd grade.
