[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in 2nd now, when he was in first he was reading on the 5th-grade level. He loves to read and we started reading to him every night since he was 2 weeks old. He does read chapter books but prefers graphical novels.  To check for understanding we make him write a paragraph about the books he read.[/quote]

Is this is a troll post, it's good, because it's just right on the line of what someone might actually say in this area.[/quote]

Def, not a troll... Mind you we do not make him write the paragraph unless it is like summer when he's on break. But you have to understand I am an immigrant and we both were teachers in Title 1 schools at one point. Also, we do not force him to either read or write... the only thing we force him to do in life is to get off his iPad if he's on there too long. I am unlike most parents, I do understand that he might be a bum when he grows up but the main thing is to be a well-rounded bum. At his age, STEM was pushed on me by my engineer father to the point, that I was doing calculus in the 9th, but I know how it affected me and my sibling so he does what he enjoys which is reading.
