There are two ways. If you are reading for fun, then just ignore the vocabulary and keep reading.
If you want to learn and understand the vocabulary, you can highlight the vocabulary while you read and look it up in the dictionary/ online dictionary afterward.
You can also keep a notebook to copy the meanings of the words or save the meanings in your computer.
So you are reading for your sons???
How old is your son? What is he reading now?
I think books by Roald Dahl is also fine...It's interesting.. I love to read!
By the way, do you have some 2nd hand book of Scream Street to sell, as the UK books are really expensive. Or do you know where can I find these books in box set with bargain price??
Thanks for all your information. They are very useful !
Let me check it up at 三聯 sin...!
Are those books written by Francesca Simon suitable for boys?
I just bought a series of story books, written by Francesca Simon, for my daughter. She is 6 now. The books are quite interesting and I hope she will love to read them. Of course, I will try to ask my son to flip through some.
Francesca Simon wrote Horrid Henry. The reading level of Horrid Henry may be suitable for your son but the story content (arguing with his brother or being blamed by his mother) is for younger children. He may think the stories are boring.
