So that every word sounds like I'm extracting state secrets rather than just read about Buff, Chip and Kipper's latest exploits?
Y1, August born. Reluctant reader (and doesn't he let me know it!) Aside from the torturous robot voice, I'm trying to develop his comprehension skills however we have a couple of issues;
He will randomly stop in the middle of a sentence, look at the pictures, ask questions, fiddle with his chair/feet/clothes etc, stare into space. This means he often forgets the beginning of the sentence and we have to start again.
He doesn't seem to care about the story & has no interest in it at all (and we read a selection of fiction, non-fiction and different kinds of books rather than just school type reading books). He's always been like this even with bedtime stories, quite often he can't tell you what happened because he doesn't listen. He still wants the story though.
And of course there is the annoying voice when he is reading, what is that all about?
Is any of this within the realms of normal? Are other 5 year olds like this?
