[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks.

To answer some of the questions asked along the way, yes my DS gets plenty of exercise.  He plays baseball, DCSC Select soccer, will be starting flag football in a few weeks and we ski most weekends locally and take 2 trips out West per year.  On the weekends when he doesn't have games, he is out in the neighborhood riding his bike with friends, playing some ball-based game with his friends on the field at his school or playing at our house with friends or at one of his friend's houses.

He sees me reading all the time.  I'm a bookworm.  He sees my husband reading the paper or doing the NYT puzzles.  Sometimes my DS plays too with Spelling Bee or Pips.

He reads just fine.  When I've heard him read aloud, there are little to no mistakes, no hesitation, very little sounding out words and he comprehends everything.  He just seems to have a block, fear or something else when it comes to moving from graphic novels to books without the illustrations.

The more I read your responses, the more I think this is more of a "me" issue and that he will be fine.  I just want him to find joy in reading like I did when I was a child.  Then again, I was the kid that my parents needed to push outside to play.  My kid would rather be outside playing with his friends than doing anything else.  He is active and social.
