[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 314241, member: 6705"] I've been lurking on this post, but honestly... My Mom says I didn't like to read either. But as far back as I can remember I got in trouble at school for reading ahead. And caught with a flashlight under the sheets at night. Still. I do love to read now. But it was nigh impossible to get either child to read, though husband and I both do. Until [I]Twilight[/I]. Now Onyxx is a voracious - and I am NOT joking here - reader. House of Night. Vampire Kisses. Impulse - which is [I]poetry sort of[/I]... I got her to read [I]Go Ask Alice[/I] and it scared her, but she loved it. I had to declare some of my books off limits. She's only 14! Jett still has issues with it, but he likes books a lot. He will read when we are out - ask what things mean - just not thrilled at home. I like the new program better. They have to read a chapter a day, 4 times a week. 3-page chapter or 20, doesn't matter. And then write one sentence about the chapter. After the last, they have to write a summary about whether or not they liked the last 4 chapters they read. Jett read four chapters Wednesday night and then stopped and said... How many sentences? I told him - one per chapter. Then he tried to say he was done for the week. Unh-uh. He [I]chose[/I] to read more. [/QUOTE]
