[quote=Anonymous]If your child doesn't really like reading, let him pick some easier books. When you curl up on the couch with a People magazine, you are probably way below your ability level, but you are just enjoying yourself. Everyone needs to adjust their reading level to the purpose. If you were reading an article for your job, you would treat it much differently than a fun magazine. Try comic books, like Garfield. I had a whole class of reluctant readers this year, and they loved Garfield and then branched into other comics. Try graphic novels. And audiobooks or ones that you read aloud. Reading a book aloud is so important as a family activity and as a way for kids to stop and question vocabulary. Also, humor often hooks reluctant readers (hence the success with Garfield). Most of all, model that you are reading![/quote]
