I have an 8 year old boy who is struggling with his reading and writing. He finds that the stories don't make sense and considers them boring boring. He can sit and listen to me read to him for up to 5 hours, he is very intelligent, but readwell is dreadful for him. He has now fallen so far behind that he is still working on Grade 1 readwell (unit 29) when he is in Grade 3. He has been told by the school counsillor that part of his brain just isn't as smart! Can anyone help me. I don't know where to turn too!!!!!!!

Leah Every child learns differently. Perhaps a retired teacher could tutor him this summer and help make reading fun for him.

Don't give up on him. Accentuate what he does well and he will be successful
