[quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old son has developed a fear of reading. He’s never enjoyed reading but it’s gotten so much worse this year. We read his school required books together, and I often read aloud to him and have to repeat the text multiple times before he gets it. He’s had several tutors over the years and they’ve all said his fluency is at grade level and that while comprehension is a bit behind at times, he’s making strides. He performs poorly on standardized tests for reading but does well in class assignments and working with me. Working on getting him a full evaluation because his academic anxiety is starting to creep into other areas of life. Yesterday he told me that his bookshelves in his room make him sad and it’s a constant reminder that he’s afraid of reading and that more academic stress is only a month away. I’m heartbroken that I didn’t see the signs earlier. [/quote]
