What if Kids Struggle with Reading?

What should parents not do when they're reading with their kids?

Dr. Carbo:
I'll never forget this. A woman was sitting behind me on an airplane reading with her child. It was excruciating to listen. Her child was doing more stumbling than reading; the kid was going through torture.

All you need to do in that situation is read it to your child first,then read it together. Many parents think that the struggle is normal -- it should be hard; that's how you learn. That's the first thing I want to wipe out of people's minds. Reading is supposed to feel good to the child. When it does, they'll become readers. We all repeat things that are pleasurable.
