[quote=Anonymous]My dyslexic kid has always hated to read (though he’s had all the remediation and can read). We’ve been careful not to force or require it. But we read out loud to him until he was about 11, and then we required that he have an audiobook on his phone or iPad at all times, so he at least could read if he wanted. Between 12 and 14 he didn’t read much at all. But then at 15 he started reading (listening) every night before bed. He now (at 16) goes up to bed early and listens to a book for half an hour a night and says he enjoys it and it helps him wind down after his day. He surprised me. Who they are at 11 or 13 is not who they’ll be at 16 or 18.[/quote]
