Kindy is mandatory in FL; skips are not even an option till 1st. My DS is also a math nut, I am hoping they will let him do EPGY during math time. Our county K curric doesn't even start counting past 10 till after Christmas, and double digit addition doesn't start till 2nd grade.
"Any ideas how to help him "like" to read?"
Try to find books that are easy, yet have hard words mixed in. When my son was breaking through into reading, I use to get him phonics readers to help build confidence. The library had a "See it, Say it, Hear it" phonics series that was great. They were easy, yet they had difficult names to sound out on every page.
My son is very prideful so motivationg him is as easy as saying "I bet you can't..." or "I wonder how fast you..."
