[quote=Anonymous]for my daughter it happened in the summer between 1st and 2nd. we read to her since she was 3 months old and she always loved the reading time, but we needed to be the ones reading. reading by herself was a chore she hated, easy books were not interesting and she generally did not like it. she finished 1st grade a half a year behind, I even thought of having her repeat the grade. before leaving for vacation, I bought 24 little books for her to read. I also bought a collection of old Avengers comics from 1964, the year by DH was born, as a gift for him. DD loved the Avengers because she had just saw the movie. in short, she did not open a single of her 24 books, but spent the summer, hours a day, reading the collection of comics (certainly much more difficult to read than her books, but she loved them, and kept reading them over and over). she started loving reading by herself and now in 4th grade she reads chapter books (small print, no images).
