Thank you for telling me about your experience.
My son is 8 and enjoys books and reading. He devours books and has piles of books around all the time and also enjoys audiobooks. He’s a strong reader, but has preferred to read longer books with me. Recently he has started reading chapter books independently and he reads them so quickly, it’s kind of hard to believe. I thought he might be tricking me a bit, but he tells me details and requests I get the next books in the series so I’m starting to think he’s really reading, just very fast. He reads out loud well, but he tells me it slows him down and I see/hear his frustration sometimes when he wants to move faster.
I always thought people who read quickly were trained to do that… didn’t realize it comes naturally to some.
