You can use it as a great opportunity to help with his English reading skills! Just read everything on the screen out loud while occasionally testing him to see how much of a line he was able to read

Good idea, but he’s really not there yet. Gotta learn how to actually read first, adding another language into the mix is a bit early and will likely be confusing.

Mario games would be good, a lot of them don't require heavy reading and provide a lot of visual instruction. Also, because the character is so popular there's a ton of genres to branch out to while still keeping the same familiar characters. Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party etc. There's even Mario Baseball/Tennis/Soccer and more if you wanna get them into sports

He used to play a lot of mario kart, and some other mario games as well.
But I’m trying to turn him into a PC gamer ;)
