hi. I have a son in 1st. He is a eager learner when it comes to math. Hates reading. We have tried everything we can think of to get him to read. Any ideas would be great!

 appeal to him not to you. He may hate books most boys do. It is not what he reads but that he reads. So forget about him reading a syllabus that is someone's else idea. Try comic books. Scholastic has a book source of magaznies for kids that are cheap and very interesting.Do you remember being in school and geting those weekly readers and you could not wait to read them? Those were from scholastic. They also have lots of homeschool stuff. here is a website for them for 1st grade.

I have two boys in 1st.  They love all their subjects except having to write.  Even having to write a single sentence will cause them to shut down.  I think a big part of the problem is that all the other tasks are easy for them and they can complete them with little to no thought, but writing makes them really have to think.  I am trying the STARFALL approach, but does anyone else have anything that worked for them?

 I do not have a child in 1st. but being the owner of the group I try to answer every post. So with that being said......I have a suggestion.Have you ever tried Evan Moor books? It is called Take it to your seat. My kids enjoyed them. I may even have a few that you can have. Take a look at it.
