Try to get his reading to be about things he is interested in. If he likes trains (just an example) then get his reading to be about them. Good luck to both of you. Keep trying to make school a positive exerience. Help him have time away from learning to just do what he wants to do as well as the acedemic part of school. Wish you both well....

No matter how serious the exceptionality, students with parents that give extra time and support ensure that their children are making progress toward and are meeting academic and social goals. Moreover, from observation and experience of decades of working within the public and private school sectors, I have noticed that such students tend to have more positive attitudes and have higher self-esteem than their peers....

This is what this mom (the author of the book The Dyslexia Doctor) did, it is a lesson to all parents.... So many kids today would have a much greater chance if parents would do what this mom did. If your child has dyslexia or a reading problem this book is a must read. Do not just let someone throw medication at the problem. Work on fixing the problem....

I do remember what I read better than hear but not to the extent of it being the main reason for the disability. Mostly I just need to learn everything consciously. For example if I learn one thing, it is one skill and if there is something similiar to me it is a different skill, while to others it is the same skill, but similiar to something already known. Hope we can continue to talk here. PM me if you ever want to....

I’m currently a member of 20 groups and throughout that time I’ve noticed that many people homeschool their kids. There’s mention of it in many of the groups I frequent. Homeschooling can be terrifying to start and very rewarding, as well as draining. I invite you to come to the Homeschooling group and check it out ( http://www.mdjunction.com/homeschooling ).

What do you do/feel when people talk about how easy something is? It's not a person I can avoid, although I also mean in general, with people you don't see regularly. But there is one person I can't avoid who says things are easy all the time. I am so frustrated and feel so dumb. My IQ isn't that high in the first place and having someone say how easy things are is very frustrating. Hope more people come here....
