[quote=Anonymous]If he has ADHD, can you work with his particular interests? Mine with inattentive ADHD read extremely early, but had trouble with longer narratives for a long time, even though she loved to be read to, or to listen to audiobooks. Pretty sure at least part of of that was processing speed. Reading-wise, she did much better with shorter chunks of material, like encyclopedias. Her vocabulary and decoding were really advanced, but she couldn’t focus on reading anything for more than about five minutes at a time. She was obsessed with the DK Star Wars encyclopedias, and the National Geographic Kids books—almanacs, Weird but True, etc. Graphic novels were also a favorite. As with a lot of counterintuitive ADHD-related stuff, the harder the text was, the better she could focus—IF she was interested in the subject matter. [/quote]
