Thank you. Teacher tells me that first grader can work on reading fluency by reading out aloud and reading comprehension by paying more attention. He can read. I am fine with 4 year old still likes to look at pictures. We are still working on pre-literacy skill like letter ABC.

The older one loves comics, and the younger one loves beautiful pictures. I read to the younger one more often. I will let them check out some books, and I like the theme ideas and a bin to store books. There is no in person story time now at my nearby library.

My main purpose is to work on reading fluency and better writing skill for the older one, and expose the younger one with more books.[/quote]

[b]The most powerful thing for both fluency and comprehension is reading aloud to your kid.  Far more important than him reading to himself.  [/b]Let him get some comics to read too but you should be doing the majority of the reading.

Why is that? I thought reading fluency is improved by kid reading out aloud, not the kid being read to.[/quote]

Dp. Ideally, the child will be read to, be read to and follow along as you read, will read to themself and will read to someone else. When my kids were young, they did the read to a dog program at the library (Paws to read). This was especially good for my reluctant reader because the dog helped him relax and the dog was non judgmental, lol. This child, now 12, is a voracious reader. I still read to him each night.[/quote]
