I just wanted to let you know that we have had a breakthrough with Aiden and his reading.
I had a long chat with him about his attitude towards reading and it seems to have gone in! At his secondary school they do something called D.E.A.R – Drop Everything And Read – and it is literally that. They stop what they are doing and read for 20 minutes. He hasn’t moaned about it at all.
They also read books and then do a quiz on what they’ve read. Aiden read his first book from start to finish without having a break and then scored 100% on the quiz. I couldn’t have been more proud.
We’ve just read another book without stopping and I cannot believe the difference. I cannot thank you enough.
Many thanks again.
