DS (9 years almost) is an avid reader and I keep on insisting him learning the vocabulary. Infact most of the time I read his books and make list on vocabulary.com and ask him to learn from there. I recently purchased SAT Vocabulary Cartoons books as well and ask him to go through it. I occasionally ask him all those meanings ( not as much as I would like to do because of full time working mom) but seeing that he doesn't use it much in writing. I feel learning vocab without using it defeats the whole purpose but sometimes wonder if it is going to take more time to come to that phase as it is slow process of learning, then seeing them getting use in books and finally start using it, But the way he reads books makes me wonder if that phase will come as he literally reads vertical as in he reads just to know the story. Any idea to improve writing in reluctant writer ( reluctant to write long text but as such wants to write) ??
