He doesn't have much patience for listening to stories but he likes to watch his books with me/daddy and also just by himself.

I do hope Kiddo gets to the point where he wants to read with me, but I'll take what I can get for now. :)<br /><br />Alyce - Brilliant idea for your son. Have you thought about giving him a goal of one "review" a month? That might give him a push to do it ...<br /><br />Photogrl - It is NEVER to early to start! Kiddo was just finishing Kindergarten when we started our "club" - and I wish I'd started it sooner.<br /><br />Dreamybee - Thanks for the encouragement.

I know I have really enjoyed reading your mother/son posts before.<br /><br />My oldest son is great at reading, but has a harder time writing (both the coordination and the spelling) so I've been trying to convince him to write down his thoughts about a book when he reads (with a promise to post it on my blog). He thinks it's a cool idea, but hasn't taken me up on it yet.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-88186618355239234122009-11-16T11:43:25.993-05:002009-11-16T11:43:25.993-05:00My daughter struggled a bit at the beginning of th...My daughter struggled a bit at the beginning of the year with letter reversals. I didn't realize how much that affected her fluency so we've been focusing on that and then all of the sudden the reading fell into place. <br /><br />We don't have a book club per se, but whenever I sit down to read, she grabs her book and reads too and although she pretended to read before, now she is actually reading and it warms my heart. She read The Cat In the Hat last night, all 61 pages. <br /><br />Say "Hi!" to Kiddo for me.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.com
