We abandoned that for awhile until his reading improved enough to understand the questions.
Your child is only 5, which is very young. If you can instill in him a love of reading, that is probably all you need at this early point.

Thank you. At least we read a ton around here. I hope he learns to love it. Most of the books he picks are superhero fluff though wink I check out Newbury and other award winners for some good variety.
