Thanks everyone. I printed out the snap cards to try with my son and looked into both Picture Me Reading and Dianne Craft's site. I really appreciate all the help. :001_smile:

Thanks so much. that is a great idea. I checked out Dianne Craft's site. She has a book on brain integration--anyone use it and what do you think. I'm not much into nutritional changes etc. I know we can't do it. I have a smart 8 year old that just doesn't seem to be able to focus long on the page and has trouble remembering words he has read several times. Teach your child in 100 easy lessons has been the best thing for him. That is why I think meaning and context seem to help him remember things more. wondering what would be the next step for him to help him succeed.

I will check those other sites out. Thanks so much for the replies!:001_smile:

I have a son who seems to have no memory for sight words. Having a lot of trouble with reading. Has anyone used the SnapWords cards for right brain learners. I saw them on CurrClick Newsletter. There is a drawing with the word that is suppose to impress the right brain learner? They are fairly expensive and was curious what others thought. Thanks!:001_smile:

I was frustrated with so many secular books having poor role models for the boys. I spent a lot of time reading my son's books. One of my sons loves to read and it was hard to keep up. So I started a blog of reviews of books with an emphasis on good male role models. You can read the review and decide if this is a book you want your son to read. My heart is to help busy moms and to serve our future leaders. My blog is Integrity books for boys. I hope this is a blessing to the Christian community. God bless! :001_smile:

If you're concerned about what your child is reading as well as how much he is reading, I have started a blog reviewing secular books that you would find in the library. The review lists reading level and any concerns with the book so you can judge if this is a book you want your child reading. My heart is to help busy moms. My blog is at IntegrityBooksforBoys.

My one son was a reluctant reader. I had to really work with him to get him to enjoy reading. On my blog, I have a series of articles to describe what I did to get him to love reading. Fluency can only be developed through practice and lots of it. My blog is Integrity Books for Boys. My heart is to share my experiences with the hope it will help others who struggle in the same way.
