Attention spans for little ones and those that are struggling readers vary so you have to play it by ear. Follow their lead, if they get too distracted try another learning activity such as a rhyme game or puzzle. I think it is wonderful how closely you worked with your granddaughter and how well it paid off for her. She seems to have gathered a great love of learning which is an ultimate goal. Good for her and thanks to Granny! You've built lasting memories with her and I am sure she does appreciate all the love and caring you send her way. Thanks again for stopping by and including your comments, we appreciate it greatly!

I have a very bright granddaughter who has some learning disabilities. When I sat down to read with her, she twisted and groaned. I realized that the process of reading was actually painful for her. We shortened the time we read together, and I used strategies like alternating pages--I would read a page, she would read a page. My granddaughter is now 12 and quite a good reader. She has found several series that she enjoys, and she devours each new release in record time.

We are dedicated to assisting parents to help their children with improving their reading skills. The story of your life and your history as a reluctant reader gives hope and inspiration. I am very curious about the books that you have written and will have to find out more. Hmm, perhaps there will be a book review to follow in the near future for our readers of this site.

I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much. My blog, Books for Boys http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is dedicated to drawing attention to the importance of reading. And my new book, Lost Island Smugglers - first in the Sam Cooper Adventure Series - is coming out in August. . Max Elliot Anderson PS.
