He's not been a fan in reception, but now he's gone back to school he just doesn't want to do it. I never really pushed it in R as I didn't want to put him off reading, and I thought he's quite young still. But now I'm trying to instil a bit more of reading daily routine, and he's having none of it. He's moaning, kicking off, and being quite rude. It's turning into a battle which is a wrong way to approach it but I'm a bit lost what to do!
Do I just leave him be for a few days? As I said, I don't want to push him but I know he has to practice to learn. If I left him to it, he'd probably would never do it.
I do think the timing is probably not ideal - we come home, they watch a bit of tv, then we do the reading. When really they just want to carry on with tv, so he's already frustrated before we even start, although I do tell him in advance how the evening is going to go.
Any ideas? Would also like to hear what are your children's routines in the evenings if you work full time. I think some of it is probably tiredness, but there isn't any other time I can do it.
