[quote=Anonymous]I am a reading teacher. Before you leap to standard reading resources and tutors (those may be advisable but not necessary) get him to simply read. The major problem I see more often than not is schools pushing students to read more and more above grade level, forcing them not only to no longer enjoy reading, but also to comprehend less of what they are reading. Have DC read books for fun. Let him choose them. If they are below his level, he will get bored and choose to move up on his own for more complicated story lines. Studies show that children who read more score higher on tests, even when what they are reading are comic books! Get him to love reading and his vocab, comprehension, word choice, grammar, and spelling will all improve dramatically. [/quote]
