And This is Supposed to Promote Reading?

So my 8 year old comes home with his very first book order from Scholastic Books-- and 85% of the catalogue is no longer books.. it's dvds and toys. And exactly how are we parents supposed to promote reading when "games" are being sold to the kids?

Speaking of books, my older girls (10 and 13) were really into the "Dear America" historical fiction books and the "American Girl" series, but where are the good series for boys? I looked into Magic Treehouse-- too redundant and others are too sci-fi. Maybe they could do an "American Boy" series.
