[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if it has occurred to any of you that if you are always demanding that your child be "challenged" when she reads, that she may learn to dislike reading.......

I was always an avid reader--still am.  However, I sure don't always pick out books with the highest reading level when I want to relax.  Once again, your child learns by reading.  The more she reads--at any level--the more she will improve.  She may be learning other things from books that appear to be "too easy".    She may be picking up speed--which is also a skill.  She may just like the pictures, or, she may want just want to read the book her friend reads.

DD constantly checked out the same book from the library when she was in first grade. (I was SICK of it).  I would never have dreamed of telling my daughter not to check it out anymore.  I think they couldn't check the same book out three times in a row--but, at every opportunity she checked it out again.  At the end of the year, when the library was purging books, the librarian gave it to DD with a sweet note that she had noticed how much she liked it.  Wonderful librarian.[/quote]

That is a really sweet story, I love it![/quote]
