[quote=Anonymous]Read to him every night, if you don’t already. Expose him to really good book that way, ones that are above his reading level. Make him read 30 min per day. Non negotiable. He can pick the book- no graphic novels. Graphic novels can be read outside of this time window, if he chooses. My son was/is like this as well. He is a teenager and I still read to him every night. But I had him read 30 min daily through 6th grade. Around then, I signed him up for online literature classes and some writing classes that got him reading, writing, and talking about a lot of different novels. Unfortunately public middle schools falls short here- so don’t expect much quality reading to happen at school or to be assigned. Reading frequently is tied to success in all subjects, but especially writing. He scores very high in testing and is doing great. While he still doesn’t read for pleasure- he loves to be read to and does plenty of reading in various AP classes now. [/quote]
