My 5 year old is a year and a half into learning to read and isn't picking it up as fast as others in his class. He just isn't interested in it at all and it's a battle most nights to get him to practice. He finds the school standard 'Biff and Chip' books really boring. Last week he brought a book home about whales and his eyes lit up when he told me about it and he actually asked to read it to me, however last night we're back on Biff and Chip and he'd have rather given all his toys away than read it. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for good learning to read books / series of books I can buy from amazon that he will actually be interested in reading so we can make learning to read enjoyable for him
