[quote=Anonymous]Last year DD did her required reading and no more. She never read for pleasure. Over the summer two things flipped the switch so that she often picks up a book on her own now for long stretches and is much more into reading: 1) scholastic summer reading challenge - dd is competitive and loved the idea of trying to help her school win plus the incentive the school offered to the class with most minutes logged. 2) Dh told her that for every 500 minutes logged (lower target at first) she could watch a movie. She is a TV junky so liked this. These seemed to have helped get her over the hump to get fluent enough to enough reading. [/quote]
