That is wonderful! It is so nice when you find something that they enjoy reading and then they actually WANT to read. One of my boys will pretty much only read National Geographic fact books, but he is learning and his reading is improving.

Yes! We have gone through the reptile phase here as well. 🙂 Now that son has moved on to Greek Mythology. I love watching their interests change over time. Non-fiction books are great and open up so many conversations because they have so many questions as they learn new things. Thanks for sharing!

I love that you focus on instilling a joy of reading in our boys without pressure or forced reading. I would add in that nonfiction books are often super motivating for boys! One of my first recommendations to families with hesitant boy readers is to get a stack of nonfiction books at the library on a topic their son is interested in. I’m looking at a stack of my son’s 20 reptile books on my coffee table as I type this, in fact. 😉
