One of DS' teachers told me that they are having an issue with DS comprehension scores on reading. She said that she's pretty well convinced that the reason is that he's not overly enthusiastic about what he's reading.
She suggested that in his evening reading sessions (reading log, 30 minutes)that I have him read one page, then illustrate everything that he read on the page. It could be as simple as trees with green leaves etc. She said it will force him to focus more on what he's reading, create a mental picture etc...
I was wondering if anyone else had tried this or if there are some other ways to increase comprehension of boring or noninteresting material?
