DS is 7 and reading okay or better, but he often misses out words, or inserts them. Sometimes his changes are the right meaning like maybe he read the line properly but rephrased it in his head according to other expectations. Other times he stumbles to continue the sentence because the word he missed out is essential for all the other words to make sense.
I know he reads by whole word so exactly becomes excellent etc. So I'm kind of used to it, but I thought by now he wouldn't add and take away so many words. It happens maybe once every 2 sentences, and he's good about taking correction. He still swaps 'and' for 'said' a lot, too.
Is this just something that some kids normally do? I try to get him to follow my finger so that he reads one word at a time (obv. not very effective). Is there some trick to help them stop the omissions & additions?
