Natural Birth & Parenting

I'm looking for advice on a good first grade curriculum, mainly for reading.
I'm not actually homeschooling but my 7 yr old is having a hard time in reading. I'v been working with him at home but I feel like I could be doing more. I'm not really good at teaching so I'd like something that will be easy for me to do with him, basically telling me what to do.

i understand that, I'm not trying to push him into anything just trying to help him understand it better b/c what I'm doing isn't really helping him
Quoting joyful_mama:
Maybe he's not ready. This is why I homeschool. Government schooling lumps kids at certain ages all together and does not account for developmental differences.
I've never used curriculum so I've no suggestions.

Play games like Scrabble or other word games. Spell out signs. Read to him while running your finger under the words.
