We cannot get local television. He does get to watch the occasional movie but that's it. Thanks for all the suggestions. Kind of what I was already thinking. But the hubby gets a kick out of all sorts of things. And he thought if it worked we might as well do it and help our son as much as we can.

I have done home education (23 yrs) with my children and we used Teach Your Child To Read in 100 Easy Lessons. http://www.amazon.com/Teach-Your-Chi.../dp/0671631985
Some children read at three. I also own many other programs but come back to this. Just go at a very easy pace. Some of my children came out of hard circumstances, had nutritional depravation and institutional retardation (severe neglect). Now they are doing well and are in college. I also read to them all the time. Don't be scared to read on a higher level to them. Have you considered joining a home education group? Many people are not into pushing their children but want to slowely expose their child(ren) because the child shows interest.
