Courtney,
I had the same problem when DS was 5. We started reading lefts and rights. He chooses his side and I read the other. Two years later we still do this at bedtime. Chapter books aren't scary with someone helping!
Thanks! I'm glad to hear that it helps to do that as that's the only way I can get him to read any of a chapter book at all. He's been on a picture book kick lately and we alternate reading at bedtime so it's hard for me to read him a chapter book lately since DH doesn't read it to him the next night. (We take turns with which child we read to, I think I'll have to change it to a weekly thing that way I have a few nights in a row with DS)
