My 5yo ds taught himself to read when he 3 and now is at a fifth grade level or so. He does the same thing, though to a lesser extent; he claims hes not a reader, but then reads all the time! I dont get it.

For what its worth, I'd guess that its a "big kid" thing too...not quite ready to be independent about it! What sort of reading material do you have around for him? I know with my ds, he could easily read and comprehend most children's chapter books -- but he still likes pictures and large text. Maybe its a problem with the combined level and layout of the books he *wants* to read?

Hmm. But then the computer thing... I'm gonna go with "big kid" issues.

Good luck! Its not easy, is it? :-)
