It's not "making" him in the sense of forcing a strong reader to sit down and read, but more teaching him I guess. My problem was that school was doing a shitty job imo, so I had to teach him myself, otherwise he'd be behind.

Now he can read, but it's still early stages of literacy, so I "make" him, meaning I sit next to him and correct/help him when needed. He likes listening to me and others read, so if he was stronger at reading, I think it would be natural
