[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110939, member: 1550"] My son has an IEP where he can read what he likes to read. He loves reading, but certain topics bore him. He is in eighth grade and reads at a twelfth grade level. Reading is definitely one issue we don't worry about. I remember that I hated reading teacher's "selected" books, although I can read up to three books a week now and am a writer. If you don't like the material, child or adult, it is harder to focus on it, especially if you have concentration issues (I did). But if you like the book, you hyper focus and can hardly put it down. I'm a big fan of read what you like. I don't remember one thing about those "great literature" books because I didn't like them. But I remember many, many books I loved. My house is overflowing with books. Another idea for books a BOY may like are "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories. My oldest son used to read and write them obsessively. It was great for his reading skills and fueled his imagination. I'd request if my child could pick his own books that are at a level the teacher approves of. I think that would help not only your son, but a lot of kids who learn not to like reading. [/QUOTE]
