Does your 10/11 yr old boy read in the school holidays?

Trying to encourage him to do a little reading (15 mins a day). He's 10 going into yr 6 and a needs a boost with his literacy. (currentl level 3b) He doesnt want to read and says its boring.

Wondered if other boys similar age read or not in the holidays.

I seem to remember DS3 loving the Redwall series at about yr5/6 and also the Warrior series. He was a book a night boy, cost us a small fortune.

How about the graphic novel books type books, basically cartoon strip versions of proper books.
Our library has quite a few.

Buy him the Top Gear magazine

I make my DS (going in to year 4) read most nights before bed. He loves diary of a wimpy kids books, Michael Morpurgo, David Walliams. He prefers non fiction books though about the human body, dinosaurs,football.

If he was given the choice though he wouldn't choose to read at all. However, he's been reading at bedtime since birth; me to him and now him independently so it's just as part of his bedtime routine as brushing his teeth.
