[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you should make him write a book report. That would turn me off reading and I love to read! I'm also not in the paying for reading camp because I don't think there should be a monetary value on doing something that he's just supposed to do. But then, I don't pay my kids to do chores either -- it's just expected that they do them to be part of the family. Like PP, encourage him to read anything, even if you aren't crazy about the topic or potty humor or whatever, just to get him going. I've also found that if a librarian suggests a book to my reluctant reader, he's more willing to check it out and read it than if I suggest it to him.[/quote]
