[quote=Anonymous]OP, If DD looks at reading as "work", I'd back off making her read. Just continue to read to her for fun. Read books on her reading level to her, in addition to more interesting books. When you read the books on her level, you might read a page and have her read a page. Or, just talk about the pictures and work on predicting--that's very important to comprehension. Then, say, "let's see if that is what happens"--and ask her to read it to see if she is "right". Try to make it a fun game. (Of course, that would need to be an unfamiliar book to her.) It may be that she will not become truly enthusiastic at reading until it becomes a "pack" thing to do--like Goosebumps way back in the past, or Animorphs--when all the other kids are reading them, too. That does not mean that she will not be challenged and improving--it just means that kids like to do what they like to do......don't we all?[/quote]
