He loves books and being read too, his favourite author is Roald Dahl and I think he has a great attention span and comprehension, but he hates doing homework and says that learning to read "takes too long". My instinct tells me that he will love reading in the future and he'll be fine, but he is just not ready. There are some children in his class who are fluent readers, girls mainly, and he thinks he's just not as good as them. He loves spending hours drawing and making up stories. The problem is that he has homework everyday, and it's hard to make him do it, it doesn't feel right to force him... Anyone else with experience here?
