[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS has HFA and ADHD and can read supposedly at grade level per his report card, but he still is not into reading at all. I have to sit with him and we take turns reading pages of picture books. Is he ever going to be able to read a book on his own and actually understand it? Anyone with advice on how to work on this? Anyone BTDT and found what works in helping him learn how to really read and enjoy reading? How can the teacher say he is on grade level when he is clearly not?! He has a reading tutor via zoom he works with 2x per week, but while they say he is doing great, I don't see it carrying over into his everyday activity. [/quote]
For my son who is dyslexic, I read to him every night until he was in 5th grade and he started doing it himself.  Some of the series I read:
Nathan Hale Hazardous Tales
Big Nate
Diary of a Whimpey Kid
Harry Potter Illustrated until they took it over.  Motivation was after we read the book we watched the movie

After started reading independently - 
The D&D books - there is a players handbook, books about different things (Don't ask me - we have a stack of them and he will read them for hours)
Spy School series
Percy Jackson series
Keeper of the Lost Cities

My son also reads the comics in the newspaper every morning.  This started with me reading them to him and now he reads them independently.  If we miss the paper delivery, he wants to read them online.  He loves Pearls before Swine so we have a bunch of these books as well.[/quote]
