Well everyone including children learn at different paces my son is six and he recognizes certain words and others he don't but he will try to pronounce the word the best he can, that's when i step in and help him . I started out writing down things that i know he would recognize like superman spiderman instead of letting him guess by the label and i disect those words and let heim know that there are two words in the words like super-man and he was able to read man or men any where everything that you do with your child make it a learning experience for them but also fun!

Kids naturally learn to read at any age between 4 and 8. If you are worried about him, contact your school district or the local children's hospital and ask for a reading evalution. A specialist can answer the question for you, and ease your mind. If there is a problem, you can get help now for him.
Don't give up. My daughter had a terrible reading delay and now she makes As and Bs in high school. The keys are early intervention and lots of work. Read to him every day and get some flashcards. Turn off the TV. Let him know the most important thing is that he work and try hard.
Relax.

Dont be so hard on the boy. Children dont normally read until towards the end of first grade at which point they want the kids to read a minimum of 40 words.
I would start encouraging him to practice. Maybe provide some incentive. Begin with the 3 letter words, then the 4 and so on. The you can go to the "high frequency" ones such as "this" and "that", etc.

what is he supposed to be reading ?? at six he is either in kindergarten or perhaps beginning first grade. in either case most of the "reading they do is memorization of perhaps 2-3 letter words like : as, if it, do , no, the , yes, red, and their first name. first grade is repetative word stories : i like the dog. i like the cat. ( with pictures of both) if you are that worried about it i sugest going to the school to find out the "master word list" that should be available for each grade level. personally i think you are worried for nothing, if he was 16, then yep you got yourself a problem but at 6 all he needs is a little time and encouragement not stress.

Thats okay, there is no set schedule for children just guidelines. Make sure that you encourage reading though. Read to him at night and afterschool- he will eventually start to pick it up. Also picture books are great- have him describe to you what is happening int he pictures. Also ask his pediatrician for a child psychologist just to make sure there is nothing developmentally wrong with him. But for the most part- just encourage reading, he'll come around.

my son had this same problem when he was six. luckily, his school had a program where he got tutored with a reading teacher. then at home we read with him every single night. you have to stay on top of it. read to him first, then have him read to you. also, try getting the "leap pad". the reading books really help and it makes it fun for the kids too. you can buy them at target or toys r us. just stay on top of it every single day and it'll get better! my son is now 8 and a very good reader :) good luck to you!

first do not have a fit he is only 6. make it fun. get flash cards, books about things he really enjoys. if u make anything a chore chances r a child is not gonna do it. make reading time a fun thing that u do with him. u can also get a really special treat or something he really wants n make it a reward 4 him reading. show him a goal, I have always used toys that my kids really wanted as a reward 4 good grades or conquering something big like reading.
good luck n remember they learn when they want 2 so make it something that he really wants. n its easier if u do it using things he really enjoys.
my grandson is currently learning 2 read of animal books since he loves animals, n my granddaughter is learning off of books about big truck (lol she loves em). we r using one book each n if they can read the book 2 me all the way through my grandson will be getting a animal bookbag he wanted n my granddaughter is working 2wards a bookbag shaped like a fire truck that she wants badly.

my daughter is 6...she has a problem too. The library has very beginner books ...they are awesome...she can read those with no problem now and is moving up to the next level. it takes alot of hard work from you and him. just let him know how fun it will be when he can read his favorite book to you. maybe even try the reward system. good luck
