Depends on the kid really. Video Games helped me learn to read. I got into Pokemon (and other JRPG's) when I was 6/7 while I was learning how to read, and it helped a lot. Then i was reading children novels in second grade (Harry Potter), while in class we had pamphlets with three sentences on each page. Kids will find other things to be distracted by if they really want to. As long as you just set a time limit on games when you feel that they are becoming overwhelming.
