[quote=Anonymous]Agree to ask that your child read rather than color during that free time.  As for ways to keep working with her, I would focus more on comprehension / reading to learn - ask her what's going on in the book, how it relates to her life, to other books she has read, get her some how to books (cooking, crafts, card games), etc.

I also agree with the library trips / having stacks of books at home.  I know my child (1st) won't necessarily ask for books and can seem like she's lost her interest in reading, but when I bring home a big stack she dives right in and is hard to drag out of them.  However it's also the challenge of figuring out the right books for her reading / developmental level - she loved Magic Treehouse a year and a half ago but since then chapter books are really hit or miss, but Shel Silverstein has been a huge hit as are lots of non-fiction books.  To deal with that I've found some book resource lists online to use for suggestions, try to query her to figure out what she's interested in, and then I just collect a pile of 20 books or so hoping some of them will be winners.[/quote]
