Reading for pleasure never seemed to be on his free-time list before. I think combining reading with the electronics element was key to him - yup there is always hope :) Aren't teens fun?Karen Pokras https://www.blogger.com/profile/01746916172377042232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632441089686871232.post-41873978171830029942012-01-11T03:31:10.763+02:002012-01-11T03:31:10.763+02:00Hi, Karen.

He also tries to cheat by using something that he has previously read for school projects. He's actually has started reading more often, which surprises me, but not yet quite the shocker that you had. There's still hope, right? *laughs*<br />Have a great week and thanks for the post. Thank you, too, Books 4 Tomorrow.<br /><br />-Jimmy<br />http://jamesgarciajr.blogspot.com/James Garcia Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00559119178720751963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632441089686871232.post-41369990062806073332012-01-11T03:06:55.491+02:002012-01-11T03:06:55.491+02:00Thanks Alan!
