Thanks.

His reading, I think, is actually very good. He does sometime mis-read words, often saying "was" instead of "saw" for example, but on the whole, he can read well. We have started to test his comprehension after reading text, because whilst he is able to read the words well, he doesn't always understand what is going on in the story.

Yes, we do try and pick books that he might enjoy, but must also admit we haven't read to him for quite a while as we have put more focus on our younger daughters night time routine of having a story.

Cheers
Neil
My son had a speech delay and has previously done speech therapy. He is now 8 and his teachers noticed he was getting a bit behind in English. This is one of the things they told me to do.
Get him to read out loud, if he struggles on a word, help him with it. Get him to read the whole sentence again, otherwise he won't understand the sentence and the story.
