[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure you know that it’s very important that you read to him and discuss the books. Also, go to the library and get a bunch of books that you think might be on his level and leave them in a bin in the house. Choose graphic novels, easy non-fiction, and short chapter books. The librarian can help you. Keep some books in the car and everywhere in the house, but make a list of them, first. [/quote]

This is a given but it won't help the OP's child if he is a weak decoder. Some kids need extra practice, especially after DL.[/quote]

What is a “decoder”?

My child actually never did distance learning. He just isn’t very confident and reads a bit slow. He is used to things coming easy to him and is getting discouraged that this isn’t and he isn’t the best.[/quote]

Decoding is how people read unknown words. If he sees an unknown word in text, does he sound it out? If he doesn't, does he guess based on the context or pictures? [/quote]

He typically sounds it out.[/quote]

Can he accurately decode words with multiple syllables or will he guess after the first syllable or two? Some students fall apart when the reading has more complicated, content specific words.[/quote]
