Hi! I'm new to the board as well. My 8 year old son was not an early reader but he made incredible gains in second grade. He is now reading at a 5th grade level. We had to search for books that he was interested in (Legos, Star Wars) and then he just took off. He also enjoyed the Magic School Bus book series. Now, he is facinated with books about outer space and robotics. We found a science workbook that is full of short science experiments and he loves this as well.
Hope this gives you a few ideas! Welcome!
