[quote=Anonymous]I have a second grade girl like this. Last year she had one series she loved and since then nothing lives up. We do all the things like library. She does read in school because she finishes things early per the teacher. But at home she will do anything other than read. She builds a lot of things like homes for animals with magnatiles and legos and draws and writes a lot. Her grades are good, but I keep hearing about other kids reading so much. I was a reader at that age. I don’t want her to fall behind. She’s also not a great speller so I wonder if that’s because she doesn’t read enough. We are trying establishing the habit of reading in bed even if it’s just 5 minute. I’ve been inching bedtime earlier so she has more time before she’s tired. We also try for at least one family reading session every weekend where we talk about what we are reading. Anyway. Solidarity and hoping for more ideas from this thread. [/quote]
