I am currently dealing with a 6.5 yr-old-boy who couldn't care less about reading. What makes it even more difficult is that his 4-yr-old sister LOVES school and is doing the same work as him only she does it faster and with a great attitude! I'm trying to chill out and be patient with him, but I do have those "grade level" panic moments. Thank you for this article.

Her first book was Harry Potter. No Dick and Jane stories for her. She began reading at 10 years old and has never stopped since. She is now majoring in Mechanical Engineering at a prestigious university and aced her first year. Listen to your children and when things are not going well, ask them what it is that they want to learn. .-= Evelyn Saenz´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/evelyn" rel="nofollow">Purple Star Award for My Lensography!</a> =-.

He's just starting to read after bucking all of my attempts. I laid off in K and 1st and was surprised by what he learned despite me :D This year he's more interested in reading and is starting to read on his own.
