[quote=Anonymous]We put ours in private, so I'm not sure if this will help you, but here it goes. DD is doing v well. She is now ending MS, and getting v good grades (As). We find that is the case b/c she can read the material for subjects and retain the info so her study time is spent studying not reading. It carries into all subjects (history, science, English, foreign Lang., even directions or complicated instructions for math). She is confident b/c her grades are good and ability is high and reading comprehension is good. B/c her reading level has always been high, she reads books often (she is always reading and is often reading a book she "can't put down"). A great gift for her is a gift card to a book store so she can buy her own book. Her spelling is good, her vocabulary is great, and she does extremely well on standardized testing b/c none of it is new to her. She was in a school where the HW load was overbearing and we moved her b/c she had no time to read for fun. Now she's back to enjoying books and it was the best move. Encourage reading. It will be the one best thing for your DC. Give her anything she wants to read and don't ever make it a chore. DD chooses books over TV. It's amazing. The diff btw early readers an later readers is that early readers start earlier. The others will catch up. If DCs are lucky, they will love to read and they will read books they enjoy so this happens with all of them. The risk is that early readers will be pushed (and end up hating it, so stop reading) and the later readers will get frustrated and never really enjoy reading. [/quote]
