Kid's passion to read

When I was small, I didnt have much material to read. Nak beli buku cerita ayah tak mampu.. suratkhabar pun tumpang baca kat rumah orang (itupun kalau mak bagi pegi la). Komik ada la.. sbb 1 ringgit dapat 3 kat pasar malam. Itupun jarang dapat pegi.

Nowadays, my son requests to go to the bookstore quite regularly. Although he only read storybooks, the fact that he reads is enough to make me happy.

He can finish one of the spiderwick book in a day; which says a lot about his ability to focus (the book has not much of graphic .. and no colors). I remember having the same passion and focus when I achieved 14 years of age. He is now only 10.

We've got Readers Digest, NatGeo and Fortune regularly at home.. He has started to browse through those now... I hope he'll catch on soon.
