best books 6 year old boys image
AC
My 6 year old is totally capable of doing well in school but when he reads he just guesses at the words instead of actually sounding it out. He knows all he letter sounds...he is just being lazy. My husband tells me this is a boy thing but I want him to reach his potential. Any advice?
Answer
As a teacher I would focus on appealing to his likes. That is, find material he gets excited about. If he loves planes get him a new plane book, cars let him read about that. I use comic books with my struggling readers. They put forth a greater effort if they really want to know what the cool superhero is saying or doing. Boys take a lot of persuasion when it comes to reading. Reading lacks the excitement they crave. So you must find books that get them excited. Also don't stop reading to him. I would suggest reading 2 pages to his one. The more he sees proper decoding the more he will catch on. A big part of reading is "sight words" in fact over 75% of reading uses these words. Make sure he knows his sight words well. This will give him confidence when reading and encourage him to read more.

I have a 6 yr. old son- he likes playing cars, playing outside, games- whacamole, chutes and ladders , candy land. He likes monster's inc., cars, finding nemo,etc. He likes playing at parks, going for walks, looking at books and being read to. He also really likes music like the laurie berkner band, raffi and others. He likes drawing with chalk outside, playing in the sand box and riding his bike.
