Question

Posted by: Des on 29 July 2009

My son has just turned 6 and he can read and write. He reads books a grade 4 learner would struggle with. He is supposed to go to Grade 1 next year, but I wanted to know if he won't get bored when it comes to reading? How can I help him not become bored with reading at school?

Answer

The school reading is completely different he will have to learn phonics but we can still make him enjoy reading.

I am going to suggest that you introduce him to Roald Dahl Books, one of my favorite is James and the Giant Peach he will love it.

The Author is an old Classic Writer; he is one of the Best Childrens writers. His books are full of adventures.

Title: Games and the giant peach
Author: Roald Dahl
EAN Number: 9780141322636

The age group on this book is 7-9 years but I take it he is an advanced reader.
