[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 314237, member: 1233"] We have a family friend, someone my dad taught with, who is a reading specialist. She says reading is not like a board, not something you understand or don't understand. It is more like a brick wall. You can have the wall be 4 feet tall but have more holes than swiss cheese. The holes are where the meaning leaks out. It can be very had to find the holes and patch them. Things that help are reading textbooks onto tape/mp3 (you can do this iwth a microphone and the computer), watching tv with the closed captioning on and getting audiobook (unabridged) versions of books. He can sit with the audiobook on and follow along in the book - this will really boost his comprehension and his reading ability. Just a few ideas, but ones that are supposed to be very helpful.
