[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op my ds was the same. Then i started getting a variety of graphic novels which he consumed and then chapter books on the same kind of subjects. Last week he (now 9'years old) read 135 pages before sleeping (he was up late!) of a complicated chapter book. Give it time.[/quote] My DS was also the same, except we never found anything he liked. We let his reading time be anything he wanted, which wasn't much. We also alternated (though his teacher said it was fine). I worried so much about it. Then one day in 3rd grade (he was 9 that september) he came home reading a Percy Jackson book from the school library. He read the whole series. He is still very picky about what he reads (unless it is assigned) but he can read half a book in a day when he is into it. 7 may just be too young for it to have "clicked" yet.[/quote]
