while you follow along (or don't) this is a great help for wanting to read a
book of interest, that might be beyond the ability. Along this vein, turn on
the closed captioning option (if you have it) on your TV. We turned it on a
few years ago, and the kids (seem to) benefit from it. I also recommend some
magazines. Cobblestone publishing puts out some great kids magazines. Moly
gets Spider, and the new science mag, ASK. Both kids get Highlights as a gift
sub. from my Mom. Both Moly and Jack love their gaming magazines as well. And
we have had a request for the kids version of National Geographic. I had that
one when I was a kid, I hope they still publish it.
Good luck!

"If nobody makes you do it, it counts as fun."
