[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, the best thing is to make the books you want your kids to read be read-aloud books (or, lacking time on your part, a runner-up is to use audiobooks). You can either use a few chapters to get a kid interested in a book, which totally works sometimes, or simply read the more complicated books as read-alouds so that he still gets more complicated stories.

So he reads Dogman 1,000 times while you read Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Henry Huggins, Charlotte's Web, whatever. Sometimes maybe he gets into it and you turn the read-aloud over. Sometimes he just wants you to read, and that's fine. Sometimes Audible reads, and that's fine too.[/quote]

This.

Let him read what he wants but try introducing new stuff.

Read to him or do audio books so he learns more vocabulary, sentence structure, and writing styles. And can follow a chapter book plot day over day with decent reading comprehension.  It’s not reading or phonics but can help it all come together later. [/quote]
