Thank you for telling me about your experience.
My son is 8 and enjoys books and reading. He devours books and has piles of books around all the time and also enjoys audiobooks. He�s a strong reader, but has preferred to read longer books with me. Recently he has started reading chapter books independently and he reads them so quickly, it�s kind of hard to believe. I thought he might be tricking me a bit, but he tells me details and requests I get the next books in the series so I�m starting to think he�s really reading, just very fast. He reads out loud well, but he tells me it slows him down and I see/hear his frustration sometimes when he wants to move faster.
I always thought people who read quickly were trained to do that� didn�t realize it comes naturally to some.
