DS8 is MATH. Recently he decided he didn't have to really work on reading b/c he "wasn't good"... after discussion he changed it to "not as good as I am in math".
I basically appropriately without further dicussion said BS.
So, he doesn't really "like" to read, but he does. We focus on good fit books, interesting topics and he enjoys it but for only SHORT periods of time.
We work on simply 20 min. a day with some discussion of the text for a few minutes. Some days go better than others...
I am wondering if anyone has some other suggestions for making this more enjoyable, how to motivate and even tap into some enthusiasm.
I'd like his scores verbally to reflect his ability but he seems to have given up in the name of MATH.
?!?!??!
