I've been reading these graded readers aloud to 息子．大丈夫です。妻も聞きます。I read a phrase and translate. He's interested enough in the story to tolerate the slowness; I hope he is getting some of the endlessly repeated phrases (言いました、鈴木さんのバスは、など).
I don't read the ones in which you get attached to an animal and the animal dies. Or the one about the dying girl's last wish (admittedly, an import from O'Henry). Tell you what, you have to grow up fast in Japan, if these books are any guide.
