[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore the teacher on this one. Your son isn't going to become a better reader when he views it as a chore that he hates.[/quote] I agree with this. I ask my son to read the first 2-5 pages, depending on reading level and age, and then I read to finish out a half hour. He's enthralled with the stories. And we listen to audio books, too, as a supplement, not a replacement. Plus, he will develop fond memories of having relaxing, fun time with his mom while reading. My son is 9 now, and I've been doing it forever. He's one year above grade level in reading ability. There are many kids in his class who are much better, but I think this is pretty good for a kid who really doesn't enjoy reading that much. Some boys like magazines better. And I'd get different levels, some easier, to help boost fluency and confidence. And don't be afraid to let him read the same things over and over. [/quote]
