[quote=Anonymous]Sounds similar to my son. We ditched those "Bob" books and went with the level 1, level 2, etc, books and let him choose the ones that interested him but didn't pressure him to fully read them. We'd read and/or alternate with him reading as little as a sentence and us finishing the page. We also bought sight word cards through "level 4" and would practice once a day. He's 7 now and it just clicked last week. It also doesn't surprise me that your child is concerned about being behind their peers. Ours called himself the dumbest kid in his class and we don't say a thing about peers, grades, etc (EXCEPT in this instance when we decided to use logic to help-if the highest you can get is a 4 and the lowest is 1 AND you earned 3/4's...) Just keep affirming your kid, OP and even if it's still mostly you reading to them, the goal is as you said-to encourage a lifelong love of reading. [/quote]
