That is an excellent idea - inquire with your 504 contact about this boy. Perhaps that contact can arrange for this boy to be evaluated so that he can get some intervention. He is very lucky to have a friend like you looking out for him. Meanwhile, the technique you were using to read a page and then have him read a page is absolutely perfect. If he is willing - that is a big help for him to read. Also - it would be good if you could read a book to him. Perhaps a book a bit too hard for him but with a subject that he is interested. The would keep a love for books alive for him while he gets intervention so that he can read for his own enjoyment.

take care,
