[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the it's a bad idea camp. Besides, 8 is really young still. If they are still having trouble decoding, it may not be a pleasure yet. It could "click" later, but by pre-empting that with money means you'll never know. Also, when would you stop paying them to read? Middle school, high school? It's just a slippery slope. The best way to get a kid to read is to have a family reading hour. OP, do you read? I think it's pretty disingenuous to want them to read if you don't. Studies show that kids are more apt to read when there are books in the house and they see their parents reading. So, all of you cuddle and read![/quote]
