dd1 now nearly 7 has never enjoyed the process of reading. Getting her to read her book from school is a daily battle. I try not to get frustrated and make sure she notices written words elsewhere/reads her sister's baby books etc. Her shelves are stuffed with lovely books which she rarely opens herself.She will happily listen at bedtime to stories but reading seems to be too much like hard work.
I teach 5 and 6 year olds and many are way beyond her in their reading ability. School have never suggested she may have a specific problem and I tend to think it's probably lack of application and practice.I tried a reward chart over half term and that worked OK but she's lost interest in that now. Any advice or parents with simlar experiences?
