[quote=Anonymous]Two things helped in our house. The first was really capitalizing on the boys' interests. For one it is cars and the other animals. I bought them large (coffee table large) non fiction books on cars and animals. Each night they read sections that they choose. The second was getting a kindle. Time also helped. I think the hardest time was when teachers assigned certain genres for the nightly reading. I get that they need to learn about all types of literature, but the nightly reading is supposed to promote interest in reading. One last thing. We found that the middle school reading assignments were really interesting and at that point, it was not that difficult to get mine to read. [/quote]
