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

I turned off real time protection on Microsoft security essentials and it didn't fix the problem. Should i just close the program altogether?

Reboot the computer and completely close the program after it boots back up, and close any other antivirus/antispyware shyt that may be running, and then try installing.

If that doesn't work then :yeshrug: .

But I think you're trying to install some old shyt that Windows might think is spyware.

When I was 8 I already knew how to do read ( rudimentary level) in two languages.

Probably the same for other immigrants here.

Around the world, kids read and write in their native language and English.

Tom you need to help little breh out if you're serious.

He might need to see someone at school about an iep as well.

I was reading 3-400 page books at that age.


Try and be a role model.

Bout to start the game up again and let him navigate himself.


I'm not expecting him to know every word/definition in existence but If he can at least MAKE AN ATTEMPT to sound things out only then will I be able to help him.

If he doesn't attempt then what exactly can I do?

I agree, if u want to learn you gotta be willing to try first. Dude ain't making the least bit of effort. Even if u can't read U would figure it out thru the process of elimination.

Sounds like he has been raised horribly :snoop:

It truly hurts when u witness people that stupid first hand.

I can see that you are conflicted about this Tom. On the one hand, it seems like you care on some level because you are spending some of your free time talking about your nephew's shytty situation with a message board, but on the other hand you are making every effort to minimize your perceived responsibility. I know it seems like anything you could do would be pissing into an ocean, but maybe the first thing you can do is to try and understand the situation without being angry at your nephew. Try and think about why a kid with zero rules, who is receiving zero positive reinforcement is acting in ways that you find disagreeable. It isn't very mysterious. My suggestion is to treat him like a good dog trainer raises a dog. Look at this and maybe you can find something useful: Behaviorism - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology It doesn't even have to be about reading at first, it is pretty easy to throw a football or baseball with a kid and they usual like it. I don't know man.

downloading this JumpStart educational superpack for kids


if this shyt doesn't install then I'm all out of ideas.


I can only teach people who have a brain to comprehend information given to them.


I figure a reading video game would probably be a better teacher

Another thing that needs to be said is that kids develop at different levels. While on the internet everyone is John Locke and has read Plato's collected work before age 5, kids in the real world develop on their own schedule. I have an 8 year old cousin who is raised in a good family and he struggles with reading. Someone like your nephew, who has a shytty family and could easily have emotional, mental health or learning problems has the deck stacked against him. So while it is good that you are making the effort, you are the one who needs to help him. It isn't enough to download some reading software and call him a retard if he doesn't get it at first. You are the one who then needs to reexamine the problem based on the information you've collected and then try again.
