My kids have all been very early readers. One game that they loved was to follow written clues around the house on a treasure hunt. The clues can start off very simply, for instance, "GO TO BED" then on the bed, a clue will read, "SEE DAD" and he will pass the next clue. The hunt may end with a small toy or a treat, or juts a familiar stuffed friend sitting in a dry bath tub! These clues can get more complicated as the child gains mastery. At my most inspired, I wrote the clues in rhyming couplets.

You might also try helping your son to write his own books. Most kids love to read their own writing, and you can help illustrate or have him choose pictures to clip from magazines.

hth!
