As a kid I used to read quite a few horror books, namely Goosebumps and some other titles I can't quite remember, also read a few classics as well. Nowadays I don't read too much, but when I do it's usually something technical or linguistic. I'll probably pick up some books in the near future in Japanese to help reinforce and practice my reading skills for it, and considering my proficiency I'll be shooting for children books.
@APE sadly, kids can be cruel, mostly because they don't understand people can have difficulties with such things. My brother is dyslexic, so sometimes I have to help him read or write things, but over time he has gotten a lot better. School has varying results for everyone, because not everyone learns or understands things in the same manner, for example, you might not understand the teacher's explanation, but you could understand your friend's explanation instead. Sometimes having a different perspective can make the whole difference, and of course learning at your own pace and doing things you're comfortable with helps even more. Despite your tough time at school, it sounds like you've grown into an awesome father.
