[quote=Anonymous]I think you should do echo reading with picture books. Not decodables but pictures books with a decent amount of text on each page. First night you read it out loud to him. Next night You read a page and then he reads the same page. Finally, he Reads the same book the next night out loud to you. Each night ask him what happened first next last. Add in more questioning each night and ask for evidence from the book. This can be very fun for the child and helps build confidence each night. The repitition helps with fluency and learning comprehension strategies. Sounds like he is too advanced for decodables but not yet fully fluent. Totally normal for beginning of 2nd grade. [/quote]
