[quote=Anonymous]My child is in the magnet program. He did not read till he was 7 years old. Even then, he did not pick up a book to read. So, I read to him every night - minimum of a couple of hours - often times - more than that. Finished so many series that I am now an expert in kid's literature and many of the books for older kids as well. So, in the end - he did not lose the content knowledge, he developed a good vocabulary, has a great imagination etc. Then one day, he started reading by himself - it was a Tintin comic. Do not get hung up on what other people's kids are doing. Trust me that every kid has some special talent and passions - your job as a parent is to help him discover what he is good at. The academic stuff? Kids all pick it up - sooner or later. [/quote]
