There is still so much for us all to learn about the reading process.

We've tried Al with comics but she wasn't keen - she prefers to make up her own pictures. She has always said, 'I love books, but I hate reading' - and I've always hoped that the former would eventually drag her over the hurdle of the latter. Touch wood...<br />Good luck with your son, too. Does he like audio books?A latte beckonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967372772145537800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773539610706998068.post-62522075599988295072011-12-12T12:12:42.874+11:002011-12-12T12:12:42.874+11:00I can completely relate to this post, Kate, having...I can completely relate to this post, Kate, having two older boys who learnt to read as easily as they learnt to walk, then along comes my youngest who wants so desperately to read but just can't (for whatever reason, it's still unclear). He will be nine next year and is way behind all his classmates despite our continued efforts and those of his teachers, but at least he is no longer saying 'I'm stupid' or 'I don't like reading'. I can't wait until the day he can curl up with a book. Meanwhile, he 'reads' comics voraciously (the pictures not the words): Asterix, Tin Tin, The Simpsons. Whatever he can get his hands on. And we read to him, of course. I will hunt down 101 Dalmations. Good tip. Meanwhile, you might like to try 'Charlotte's Web' next?Sally Rippinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925937323236380791noreply@blogger.com
