Is My Son Really Struggling With Reading? My Surprising Dilemma
Confession time: my 8-year-old son, just about to leave 2nd grade, seems to treat reading like a disappearing magic trick. 📚✨ He reads a story, and—poof!—the details vanish from his mind. Night after night, we tackle those 2nd grade comprehension workbooks, but it feels like we’re running in circles.
Here’s the twist: his teacher insists he’s doing fine, maybe a tad behind, but nothing to lose sleep over. Yet, at home, it’s a different story. The looming third-grade test has me in a panic—should I start from scratch with kindergarten books? Am I the only one seeing this gap?
Maybe I’m overreacting, or maybe there’s something I’m missing. Fellow parents, educators, or anyone who’s been here—how did you bridge this mysterious gap between home and school? Drop your wisdom, call out my worries, or share your own wild reading journeys below! 😅📖
Let’s figure this out together—because honestly, I’m all ears (and a little frazzled)!
