Merit Answers: Staying focused while reading


Question
Area of Concern: Reading Comprehension

My son readily admits he has difficulty staying focused when reading. When he can struggle through, he can understand what he just read and can correctly answer questions if given immediately after the reading. A day or two later is a real struggle.
