I am in 7th grade and i am tutoring a sixth grader in Reading and Writing! He tends to slack off and not pay attention, he also needs constant help on the reading/writing activity’s! Since we are in 3rd quarter now, were starting new stuff in reading/writing! What are some activity’s should i do to help this kid!? Any tips?

It’s not that I am not really into reading. As a matter of fact, i enjoy reading paperbacks done by Steel, Sheldon and Grisham. I also like reading fashion magazines or any magazines with lots of different informations. But I noticed that I find it difficult to finish reading materials related to my job (I am an Information Analyst in a Electricity Industry), and those that are related to my studies (I am taking Master in Educational Management). I realized that perhaps something is wrong with my reading habit, and I would really appreciate if you could give some answers to end my dilemma.

My (just turned) 11 year old daughter, does well in school, knows how to read, but hates to read. We try so hard to make it more fun for her, but nothing has worked so far. We know that eventually she will learn to like reading, but in the meantime, does anyone know any books that are age appropriate, but an easier read? Thanks.

If you spend a lot of time on the internet, reading articles, information, etc, is that still considered reading? Say you read a lot of random things, and learn a lot from them, can you still say you read a lot, or does it have to be from a book? I know that I never sit down and actually open a book and read, but I do find myself reading new things about the current world, history, science, etc, every day.
