One of my children has decided he is NOT going to work for me anymore. He's decided that he doesn't want to try to read anything, let alone books that are exactly right for him, that he probably could read on his own.
How do I know that he's decided this? Because he is six or seven. And refused to identify both the hippo and dinosaur in the pictures of his book. Unless he's telling me the truth and he really is the ONLY first grader on the planet who doesn't know what a dinosaur is?
I spoke with his teacher and she is going to have a conversation with him about how important it is to try. I don't necessarily care if he can read all the words, all I care is that he tries his best and uses the numerous strategies that he has been taught in order to decode tricky words.
Wish me luck!
