Here are some facts about books for school age children as reported by http://raisingchildren.net.au

• At around ages 7-9, most of the children can already read by themselves so you may have to borrow, buy or access books online for them to read without you helping them.

• It is advisable to keep reading aloud to your child and share enough time together reading these books.

• You can also visit libraries and bookshops and probably, it might already be a good idea to give him a library card already.

• Consider books that interest them especially if your child is a reluctant reader. Comics or joke books would probably be interesting for them.

• Consider listening to recorded stories and probably give books as a gift.
