He finishes several each week so I guess he doesn't have an issue keeping it all straight.

I'm just curious if other people do this.


DS9 is the same as your son. Sometimes he'll read something straight through but more often, he has five-to-ten in various places. Not neatly placed, either!

He is a frighteningly fast reader - but whenever I am sitting with him and take the book to ask a question about the page he just read, he knows what it said. Not sure if he just gets to a boring spot and stops for a break or what happens.

I rarely read these days (I listen to audiobooks instead) because I have a bad habit of getting to a slow part then skipping ahead until it gets interesting... but then feeling like I need to go back and read those sections I skipped. When I did read actual books, my habits were similar to DS', but neater. smile
