[quote=Anonymous]Actually I would disagree with 11:25, counting can make a child aware of what they can do, especially if you have a struggling reader. I have a child that was insistent that she does not want to read, did not read, but she does read graphic novels. We set up a good reads account where she basically realized that she did a lot of reading. Now yes we have some quality issues here and we are working on that but seeing all those book covers made an impression. I would also caution that not all books kids read should be high quality, it makes reading really boring because that is not what people are in the mood for all the time. A kid should have a varied diet of high quality and high interest books, reading is not a punishment but a lifetime experience. So yes set some goals on the variety side but don't make it all about eating vegetables. [/quote]
