My son has fear in reading. The worst part of his school was reading. Well still it is. He said the teachers don't let them play all time, sometime he had to study too, so school isn't 100% good time pass.
Recently his school started a reading program. So, from now on everyday they give some books to the students to pic up according their choice and then take it at home. Every night parent's duty is to sit the kids with their given book and let them read by themselves unless they need any help to read. And the books are good to read with attractive pictures. My son likes it. He is very happy to read and very much interested to know about the new story. And yes, now he is trying to read every sign he saws and every text he found anywhere.... I like this school policy...
