Ellen says: Is your child a reluctant reader? Many children with learning disabilities avoid reading and do not get the practice they need to improve their skills. Why not learn some great ways to improve basic reading skills and reading comprehension. Increase their reading time with activities that they will actually enjoy!
For Rallione, even he already fond of books, I also try to have him variety of reading materials - pair books with unabridged audio books. We can easily encourage reading by pairing books with unabridged audio books. Often, we can find both at the library. Just have a little experiment and choose the best strategy that works for our child. Then follow the book as the audio book plays. This helps with word recognition and awareness of phrasing. Listen to a chapter, and then read it. This helps our child understand main ideas before they are read, which can improve fluency, or read a chapter and then listen to it to self-check for understanding.

That sounds like an interesting method to try with children.
I was lucky in that all three of my kids enjoy reading books :) Hope your son is doing good with his healing, and that you are having a nice weekend :)
This sure is a reasonable way to create an interesting and productive environment for the child. The child will be quite glad that someone is joining in to help, and the activity of reading with sound can only benefit their later days.
