Just curious if anyone had noticed a preference in the gifties they knew and what it might mean.
DH and his father have strong preferences for nonfiction and I like fiction. DS seems to be following dad and grandpa.
He has free reading time at school. The kids select a book to keep at their desk each week. He has selected a large science encyclopedia each week so far. His teacher asked if I would mind letting him bring smaller science books from home. Of course this is fine and we even talked about letting him pick books that go into more depth on a topic they are covering in class. He likes sharing interesting facts with his classmates.
Just curious if anyone had theories on why some people prefer one over the other.
When my son was in early elementary he much preferred reading non-fiction. But now he doesn't really show a strong preference.
