[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm a PP with a 7 year old son with Dyslexia. My kid was also at Hop On Pop level for most of first grade, but HATED Dr. Sues. One just fantastic set of books are the Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie books. They are slyly hilarious, and sweet, too. My son just loves them, which means he'll happily read them over and over, which is great for fluency, as a PP pointed out. The Star Wars and Ninjago etc. books were attractive to my son, too, but they are really hard for a struggling reader. Lots of names, big words, and potential for frustration. Another possibility is to find something he does like, and read it to him a few times till he knows the words really well, then let him read it. You can also use a sheet of paper to cover all but the sentence your child is reading, as that helps focus and stem the panic of having too many words. And poetry meant for kids is great, too, especially when it has disgusting humor...[/quote]
