[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, try books way below his reading level. It seems wrong but it will build confidence and allow him to comply with 20 min rule. My kids were allowed picture books at that age - keep doing them until he complains.[/quote] +1 Picture books are wonderful even after a kid has learned to read. Don't drop them too early! I also posted on another reading-related thread to say that my reluctant reader loved "acting out" the Elephant & Piggie books with me -- that really helped with his reading. He also loved to read any book by Gail Gibbons -- they're non-fiction picture books. He found them very interesting.[/quote]
