[quote=Anonymous]I pay my child to read, and have for several years. DS finds reading difficult and needs a motivator. Money is that motivator. (Other children might read for screen time, clean for money, or play soccer for a trophy. People sometimes react badly to discussions about incentives for reading, but I don't have a problem with recognizing where my child needs an incentive.) When DS was your child's age, any reading counted towards earning money. By the time DS was 10, school required reading did not count towards money. DS is still not a self-motivated reader but over the past year there have been a few times of DS reading without keeping track of monetary gain. I don't know that DS will ever read much for pleasure but it is no longer a fight to get him to do necessary reading. [/quote]
