Shown some willingness

Lately, Ethan on and off will pick up an English story book and read by himself. He insists that he reads it by himself after mother told him that the book may be too difficult for him. Mummy doesn't want him to loss his confidence just because he cannot read it smoothly. Mother offered him to read the books like "Peter and Jane" which are easy and the words are repeating but he rejected it.

Why mother does not really willing to let him read the book from library because the stage and level that mother chooses is for the primary kids. Just used his ears and eyes to look at photo while mother read them to him should be Ok for him. But he wanted to read all by himself. Mother would say it is too early. As the book got a lot of short cut words like "We've, can't , we'll, didn't " which is seldom found in the "Peter and Jane" book.

As last, he listened to mother persuading him to try to read the Peter and Jane. Yes, he can read it but he is only interested in reading a few pages then said will leave it for tomorrow. Mother knows that there is no tomorrow for this book. He still does not find any interest in that book.
