[quote=Anonymous]Bad Panda series. They’re chapter books with short paragraphs/lots of dialogue so there’s a good amount of white space, and every 2-page spread has at least a small illustration to break up the text a bit. Captain Underpants is like that too (though leaning more towards graphic novel if he needs an easier easing in). You could also try picture books, not the really simple ones but more like Where the Wild Things Are or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Big illustration on each page but the text is organized as paragraphs. Building up stamina takes practice. For one of my kids during the early reading phase (where he could read sentences okay but tired quickly and had trouble with comprehension as the passages got longer) it seemed to help when we took turns reading out loud so he could have a “break” and process what was happening.[/quote]
