[quote=Anonymous]I am leery of paying kids to do anything that you want them to like, because to me it seems to give the message that it's work. I also don't like to pay them to do something that is a basic responsibility (like chores.) But that is a personal value that varies from family to family. I found that a great way to encourage my children to read was to read the first chapter aloud to them. Usually by then they're caught up in the story and want to continue. But this may not help for someone who really doesn't like reading![/quote]
