I speaking to someone the other day who was saying how frustrating it was reading with her son. He doesn't enjoy it, seems to get bored and not try (no special needs, just a main stream child who doesn't particulalry enjoy reading). I told her about the Golden Rule (if he doesn't know a word after a couple of seconds, tell him. If he seems to be becoming bogged down by it; take it in turns to read a sentence, save learning new words/sounds as a seperate activity, etc...).
Last time I spoke to her she said she felt they'd had a break through, not a huge one, but by her reading every other sentence he had seemed more relaxed and it had been a much more positive experience :)
