Re: Goosebumps and Captain Underpants??
DD loves Captain Underpants. We don't have Goosebumps books. She does like Junie B. though- and I know alot of people don't. We used it more to get her into reading than anything else. Then we turned Junie B. into grammer lessons and talks about different styles of writing.
At nine- she still visits these books occassionally, but she is a big reader of other, meatier books so I don't worry to much.
It did help us to say- "you can read these books as much as you like- as long you give me 20 minutes of reading a book of my choice" We used this approach for both of the olders, and they each gave us sooo much more than the 20 minutes we asked.
