DS1 has started wanting to read by himself at night this week. He has been struggling with reading and I didn't think he was ever going to get round to it.
I have just finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to him at night and we have moved onto Matilda and I think he has taken the first chapter or so to heart, where Matilda is talking about her love for books and makes the point that it's OK if you can't read or understand all of the words, you should just let them wash around you. DS1 has since asked if he can read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by himself, a chapter a night and he actually seems to be doing it.
I just wonder if this is likely to last. Any tips to keep him interested and stop him becoming discouraged? So far I have just been asking the next day if he managed OK but don't want to be too pushy, would hate to put him off.
