First stop worrying about the computer games.
Computer games develop math skills as the player must develop skills in sequential reasoning.
Reading the instructions is reading.
Kids will read a book if the book is interesting, problem for 16 year olds is most stuff is just not interesting.
Find a common interest between you and your grandson and buy that book, do not try and foist your interests on him - common interest is the key.
Teach him love him.......that is what is important.
I agree with svcw. I had one son who wasn’t much of a book reader, but he loved reading the sports pages. He eventually worked his way to reading novels that his English teacher (also his soccer coach) encouraged him with. He later read Dante’s Inferno with great interest. There’s a book for everyone, you just have to find out what he’s interested in.
Find a mutual interest and cultivate that hobby. Use books/magazines/etc. that will apply. The love and interest you show in him will be very special and bonding. Best wishes!
