Do you and your ds read together at bedtime? Usually DD reads along as I read at bedtime, but I noticed when she was going through her slump in reading interest that she was more likely to just listen and not read along.
When I read your last post I was thinking about that, and about how reading to oneself requires focus. Maybe our kids go through a reading slump when they are cognitively "busy" in other ways. Reading isn't satisfying if the mind keeps wandering off in other directions, kwim? That could explain an interest in familiar books and in less taxing books (hello pokemon
) Realizing that your brain went somewhere else two pages ago doesn't matter if you are reading a story you already know well. Regardless, I'm thinking that anyone who has read the number of books your son has read is going to find his way back to books all on his own
