Meghan has a chart that she fills up as she reads. When we started, a small reader that would fill a square. Now she is reading chapter books so a couple of chapters will fill a square. I started this as an incentive for her to read. I think that it has worked and she likes reading a lot more now. Of course she doesn't want to get rid of the chart. When she fills the chart she gets to pick a place to go, (she also gets .25 for each square). For her first filled chart she chose Chucky Cheese. She had sooo much fun. Kaden did too which kind of surprised me but he loved playing all the games and asking for more coins. Note also that you don't see many kids around. We were able to go on a school day when most kids are in school. Again a plus to homeschooling. :)

Way to find something that works to get them to read. They will thank you when they get older!! Good Job Momma!!
Way to go Meghan!
Bonnie, have you tried BookAdventure yet? It reminds me of Accelerated Reader in public schools. It has tons of books and each time the child finishes a book, they take a quiz on it, then get so many points for quizzes. You can put in prizes for x # of points or use theirs. They didn't have much for Faith, so I bought some Ponyville and Littlest Pet Shop mini sets (the $3 & $4 ones) and set them at 1000 points each. Each quiz is worth 100 points for an average second grade book, so about 10 books to earn a small prize. Faith has been really excited about it because she can pick the titles, pick the book levels, and it's all under her control to work on it.
Thanks girls!
Shannon I have not heard of that one. I will check it out! I am sure she would love that and I love something with book lists too. Thanks!!
