I'm sure many of you may remember the "Book-it" program that Pizza Hut offers to schools as an incentive to get kids to read. Morgan is in the program this year.
October is the first month of the program for the academic year, and Morgan set a goal to read 5 books this month. These books are in addition to the books we read to her, and the book she reads to us at bed time.
A couple of days ago she choose a selection that was easy as pie. She had already read the book several times at bed time, but I let her count it on her chart and she dutifully wrote the title on her Goal Chart.
Today she read Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain. She has heard the book read before, but it is still a darn long book for her to read all in one sitting. I saw her with the book this morning before I left for work. Later today, She came to her dad and told him that she'd read it and wanted to add it to her chart. He asked her to read it for him while he was cleaning up. She read the whole thing to him.
KapItI is proudly written on her goal sheet.
We better watch out, next month she may choose War and Peace!
