Yesterday we had a breakthrough – he got a book and read to me for twenty minutes. In the past if he had wanted a story he would have attempted the first sentence and then got cross and frustrated and asked me to read the rest. I prompted him on some of the more difficult words but always let him try to sound them out first. I was amazed at his perseverance (although it was probably just an excuse not to go to bed!). However, I think I would happily let him read all night if he could have. It’s moving in the right direction.
