Reading with Kids

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”― Dr. Seuss
Nowadays i'm reading lot's of Dr Seuss with my 8 year old . His teacher wants him to read more of 'scholastic ' series and this guy all on 'wimpy kid dairy' or Dr Seuss or anything on lego's.
I feel good he is reading ,but not so glad as he is not reading what he is supposed...
