I got an interesting piece of news this week. According to the test administered at school, my 13 year old daughter is now reading at an 11th grade level (usually about 17 years old in the US). The interesting part is that the same tests have pretty consistently showed her reading to be on the low side up to this year. What's the big difference? She has her own computer this year and has spent much of her time reading websites in her room.
She's also getting very interested in writing, which I'm encouraging -- she has lately been developing some quite good story ideas.
This is the same daughter who's using my eBw 1150, but I'm pretty sure she spends more time reading online. She was hoping it would be easier to transfer fanfiction to the eBw. I think I should work on setting up tools to help her do this.
