[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trip to the bookstore! Encourages a love for reading. If funds are low, try used bookstores in the neighborhood.[/quote]

Or the library...[/quote]

Why would a trip to the library need to be earned?[/quote]

OP set an almost impossible task. She has asked for rewards that are (1) not food, (2) free, and (3) not screen time. People are trying to meet that and it's genuinely hard.

If your kid is extra book-motivated, and extra trip to the library beyond your usual visit could work though. Or agreeing to go for a special event they enjoy but you don't, like a lego club or D&D club.

Our kid sometimes earns book downloads to her kindle with good behavior. I don't know if other people consider that screentime. We do require our kid to read most books in physical print and generally save the kindle for travel. So it's a special treat to her to get to download a book to the kindle and read it at home. There's an instant gratification element there too. Download might be from the library or could be from Amazon -- usually we check the library first if she's looking for a specific title and if it's not available we will pay for it as long as it's not too expensive (most kids books are pretty cheap on kindle).[/quote]
