A few more thoughts from Mrs. Eure about her personal experience with her own son...

A couple of suggestions... I quit trying to make him read and just read to him.  Sometimes we'd alternate and take turns reading (sentences, paragraphs, pages, whatever) and if he got to a word he didn't recognize I gave it to him instead of trying to get him to sound it out. 

Another thing we did was to get 2 copies of the same book so I didn't have to sit right beside him but was following along.  That way we were reading the same thing and I knew if he missed words or mispronounced something and I could help him.

He loved Puppy Place, Animal Ark, Ranger in Time, I Survived, and Magic Tree House.  But I was reading these things to him.  Eventually, I found out that he was keeping one of these lower reading level books going upstairs (once he was a little over) by his bed while I was reading something that was at or above his grade level with him.

The Albemarle Public Library System has a lot of the books listed above if you want to check them out.  You can search the card catalog online and even place a hold/request a book using your library card (you tell it which library you want to pick it up from).  (Their website is http://www.arlnc.org/)
