[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 552884, member: 14557"] As you know our kids start their school later and I don't have any experience in trying to get kid not interested to learn to read to try it. But still some thoughts. I would be very wary trying to work with him on letters if he is so against it. If school isn't really pressuring it at this point, I would give it time. To pressure him may just end up in him getting more oppositional about it or feeling that he can't learn. He is youngest in his class so most of the other kids know how to read I assume. If you are lucky he will quickly get interested about it, becuase he wants to know how to read because everyone else is doing so. Our first language is easier to learn to read than French due to spelling being more phonetic so I'm not sure if these tips are in any help, but this things helped with my sons. They both were first interested about writing than reading. Writing their names, names of family members, friends, dogs etc. First of course using a pencil was difficult too, but I let them write a lot with computer. They both liked it, when they 'wrote' and I read aloud what they had written. Of course gyhrrvrrrqqqjhoppgf isn't the easiest 'word' to pronounce :winking: but that gave them some understanding both about idea of written text and how letters and sounds correlate. I also read to them a lot and in some point I started to follow the text with my finger. That also seemed to help them to understand the concept of reading and also taught them some letters without them noticing they were being taught. [/QUOTE]
