I would buy him hunting, fishing, and outdoor magazines (his interests at the time) and he would read them, cover to cover. Now, he reads as fast, or faster than I do. And he comprehends. My co-teacher's son struggled with reading until he found a The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616033152327236452.post-54030412347362002702010-08-31T10:18:19.670-05:002010-08-31T10:18:19.670-05:00What a wonderful post!

I usually go through reading binges where I will read 3-4 books in a short period of time and then not read for a few months. I just checked out Sarah's Key from our public library.

I read for information and not so much for pleasure. Even when I was a little girl, my mother would get me started on a good mystery ---and then expect me to take over and continue reading. She loved to read --and it bothered her that I never did. <br /><br />I am such a visual person.
