Why don't you call up his school and just ask his teacher how he's doing when it comes to reading and comprehension?
And why are you playing Halo 3?

At what age is the average person supposed to be proficient at reading in general?

It would be a good idea to help this nikka progress because lord knows his momma don't give a shyt - and by the time she does, it'll be too late. Playing Halo with him is fine, but do some homework with him or read some shyt. Get him into comics perhaps, that's a good way to get kids excited about reading.
He's not your child but he still family, nahmean. Not saying you gotta be his daddy or whatever but if you can help him do it

ur right, but I'm not with him 7 days a week, I only watch him on the weekends sometimes. The weekend is usually chill time. Whatever that needs to be done should be done during the days he's with his mom. And to be honest its not my responsibility and if It was honest to god I honestly wouldn't even feel like doing it anyway (which is why I'll never have kids, life is too stressful as is, and I know i'd be a terrible father at the moment)
His moms could have gave him up for adoption, let the nikka be raised by a proud white family and I'd bet u he'd probably be on the honor role right now.
I'm not finna be burden by a stupid decision someone made when they were 17 bro. Blood or no blood.... Fuk that shyt
I do realize its fukked up but its also fukked up to have parents like that.
They're to blame not me
You should try to make it fun for him or something. The situation is not really like mine, but I've always had to help all of my cousins with homework all of the time. Almost daily. I was their unpaid tutor. In that case, I wasn't trying to play games but I wasn't like 
unless they were BSing on purpose cuz they didn't want to do it. I'd rather take 2 hours making sure he/she understands whatever I'm telling him/her than take 20 minutes ignoring, avoiding or half-assing any kind of help only to give him/her the answer.
Since this kid is getting sad, you have to act like it's not a big deal and help him out. He's not your kid, but years from now, he'll remember you helping him. When a kid learns and it clicks in their head, they always have a little
expression on their faces.

Seriously though, trying to teach kids stuff make me think either these parents want their kids to get good grades, but could care less whether they really learn or these teachers doing terrible jobs teaching kids.
I just think parents need to be parents
hypothetically, If I was ever in a situation where I had a seed (I'd have to be making mad dough, not living from paycheck to paycheck and have atleast 100 thousand set aside for each kid's college education, if u can't do it right then don't do it AT ALL) I'd make them write me one book report a week or else they wouldn't be allowed to EAT.....period.....u either write the book report or starve. And it wouldn't even have to be based on a book, it could be a news article, a film, a tv show they've seen etc anything. As long as I had 3 paragraphs that demonstrated that they had comprehension skills given to me once a week I'd be satisfied
but parents don't give a fuk these days man

Glad i had final fantasy and Zelda in the first grade.
Nah but for real tho take the little homie to a comic book shop and get him something he thinks looks cool.
$10 a month for a year to get young bul unstupid is a good investment.

Actually, we're all to blame.
It is because we have that attitude: "It's not my responsibility." "It ain't my kid!" "That's their dumb decision not mine." "She should have gave him up for adoption." that we (as in the black community), you, he, she(his mom) are in this predicament now. I know you're saying you would be a terrible parent, and you only have him on the weekends but as his uncle and as a man in his life it is YOUR responsibility to make sure that he thrives. Sure he isn't your son but if he is spending time with you, wouldn't you want him to be able to read and do well? or are you so narrow-minded and self serving that you cannot see the benefit in encouraging your own? Look, you obviously cared enough to make this thread. Do not let the mistakes and misguidance of his mother further hinder his chances at becoming a success. If you see something is wrong, fix it. In essence, he is yours.
i couldn't read good until like 7-8.
I honestly don't even remember much of when I was that age. My memories of that era are like fuzzy still photos to me now.
I dunno man, I hope he eventually catches up because it is gonna be hard for him if he doesn't.
I'm still trying to get my shyt together, broke, in debt thanks to student loans and only got a few college credits to my name with no degree.
As much as I'd like to help I just can't at the moment. Had too many setbacks myself and I can only focus on one thing at a time. Kids shouldn't even be in someones vocabulary unless they have their situation together. I cant imagine myself being dumb enough to have a seed at 17 yrs of age. I can't help her with her mistakes when I got my own shyt to deal with. holla at me in a few years and maybe I might be in a position to help
moral of the story is bytches and nikkas need to wisen the fuk up. Stop fukking and get ur education first before doing that dumb shyt. I ain't gonna be stressing over some lil nikka that I didn't make....not now atleast..and that's the bottom line.
I only made this thread cause I thought it was fukked up that he really sat there for 20 minutes over some shyt like that. But life in general is fukked up.
nikka got every reason to blame his mother/father for whatever he becomes later in life, real spit
continuous cycle that never ends
