[quote=Anonymous]First -- let reading outside of school be for pleasure. Loving reading is more important than challenging the kid; as long as they keep loving it, they will challenge themselves. Do they have easy access to lots of books? I gave my kid online access to the public library starting around 7 or 8 years old. A tablet with limited access to websites but pretty much free access to anything they wanted to borrow from the library. We also have a household newspaper subscription. In terms of being bored in school; take some time to find what your child *doesn't* find easy -- art, or PE, or music -- and insist that they work hard and practice. It will challenge them, it will keep them humble, and they will learn that some things are things they need to work at to be good at.[/quote]
