Child do not like to read books
-
their attention span will be as long as it takes for them to register that page as a image and they will want to move on. on a side note,. they actually register info 6 times faster than us adults. hope this helps.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this as I did not go through the entire thread. If your child has short attention span, try reading each page really fast to catch his/her attention. Some people call this speed reading and it takes practice if you haven’t done that before. It makes the child sit up and since you complete the book in no time, the child might want you to repeat the process as he/she thinks it’s fun. It’s a start.

:goodpost: If your child is very much a visual person, he may not fancy seeing too many words on the page. Pictures will certainly help enhance the reading experience. My DS is still choosing books with pictures at P2 and is put off by books filled with only words. There are some readers that come in series which builds up in length of story (number of pages) without squeezing in too many words per page. Indirectly, your child is trained to read longer stories without him/her realizing it. -

Or play with stickers.
Will try speed reading, though not sure can make my kid read with fast reading. Still got to point at each word. -

He'd be shooting off again. It is our speed in reading the story so he gets the CONTENT quickly, within seconds, that it helps to capture his attention. Once you get his attention with the content, you should be able to extend his attention span on reading (just thinking only. let me know if it works
)

well according to my kid, hes reading the book named as the \"Animal Horn\" many early hornbooks were made by printing letters onto paper or vellum (animal skin) – both expensive materials at the time. To protect them, the letters were covered with a layer of animal horn like cow horns, https://hornsavvy.com/category/sheep-horn/, goat etc so thin that it was see-through. This horn was fixed to a wooden or leather base, which was known as a hornbook. Sometimes the ‘books’ were made from metal, ivory, or bone like this one, but they still kept the same name. Some were even baked out of gingerbread to tempt children to ‘swallow what they read'

My children were all eyeing my books. Let them see you reading.

I am facing the same problem with my boys. #1 likes to read sci-fi and non-fiction books like Nat Geo and Sci based books. He occasionally reads fiction books but his choice and interest is very limited. I tried enticing him with lots of different titles but he dislikes most of it. He loves comics and will pore over his Beyblade comics over and over again though.

He's still reading, so I wouldn't worry. Storybooks are not the only form of reading. And comics are not necessarily a bad thing as long as he is also reading other things (not necessarily fiction). It is a failure of the PSLE compo paper that it does not allow truly imaginative and creative writing, and your son may hate the things he has to write for school compos. But that goes for a lot of kids.
