My ds8 is a good reader - the last time he was tested above level was in 1st grade - she tested him up to 5th grade reading and comprehension (but didn't go any further). He drives me crazy with his not reading ! He reads alot at school - from what I hear, he reads every chance he gets. He'll even stay in and read at recess. He can read any level he likes, apparently. At home, it's a different story - the only book he'll read is the one they're currently reading in his 4th grade reading group - they have to read so much of it before they meet. Once that's read - nothing. Now - if I suggest that we read a book together, he's perfectly willing to do that - but just doesn't enjoy reading for pleasure by himself. I hope he grows out of it - I always loved to read as a child, and still do.
