Morning time allows reviewing important parts of the newspaper and getting a feel for critical issues as the day begins. Newspaper writers are extremely skilled at writing various levels of headlines and giving the important facts in the first paragraph of the article. Show the youngster that he can first quickly scan, for example, the news section and check those articles he may wish to go back and read in full. There are many magazines available either by subscription or at the local newsstand that provide an abundance of enjoyable reading material. Some may seem to be targeted to girls, some to boys, but, happily, in today's world there are no longer, for the most part, clear demarcations.
Most homes receive through the mail a variety of catalogs which feature all kinds of products.
If you allow your child to order one product, it will generate his interest in reading through the catalog. I'm going to order a few things. If the price goes beyond a certain dollar amount, arrange some sort of equitable split on the cost. Discussion can be encouraged in subtle, gentle ways. For example, if you know your youngster has seen a new movie, and there's a review of it in the newspaper or current magazine, you might informally discuss his reactions to the review.
