Also, he LOVES books and LOVES to learn but HATES to read.
My biggest regret is not paying enough attention to this. It was easy to see that DD
could read, and so we discounted her clear hatred of reading, the daily fight over the reader brought home from school, as just her being, well, stubborn. For no particular reason. But really, why would she?
So my two cents worth is, pay attention to your gut. I've learned the key question with 2E kids is not so much "can they?", but rather, "should it really be this hard?"
If reading makes your kid miserable, they're trying to tell you something. For my own part, I wish I had been listening a lot sooner.
