Ok so I am totally not looking for actual advice here because I swear I have read and tried it all already! But I am looking for stories/anecdotes that will give me hope!
I have a DD, 7, who has a reading age of 10 and LOVES being read to, but very rarely picks up a book herself. Her ability to avoid reading is in fact incredible (she is v v stubborn personality wise and i do wonder if she genuinely doesn’t read because her brother and I are such bookworms and she knows I’d love it if she joined us 😂). She will be desperate to find out what happens next in a story but still not pick up the book herself (even though she’s more than capable of it). We go to the library, read lots at home, let her choose, have suggested easier stuff like Dogman etc etc. Like I say, have tried it all.
So I guess what I’m asking is: can you tell me your stories of your kids who were late to reading but suddenly started to love it later on?
