ds1 is a bit behind with his reading. he is only in reception, so i'm sure he'll catch up, but i just wondered if there is any point me buying some of the ORT books or similar to use with him over the holidays?
part of the problem is that they very, very rarely read with them in school. he has only been read to about 3 times this year!
while i do try and remember to read his book with him at home i often forget as I have 2 younger children as well and it's pretty hectic after school!
now, clearly i will endeavour to put a bit more effort in this end. a lot of the books we have here are not really suitable for him to read himself though.
either too few or too many words
i realise that we have plenty of opportunity to read all the time, on signs etc etc, and we do this. but he does also enjoy sitting and reading a book so any suggestions?
