Reading

Our library is running a summer reading program that started this week. They launched it with a treasure hunt in the library which we happened upon by chance. So Lily signed up for the program. You read for 15 minutes each day and colour a shell on the entry form for each day of reading. Every three weeks the kids turn in their form and receive the next installment. For every form turned in they receive a small prize and are entered into a draw for a personal DVD player.
It's really good for Lily to have some outside inducement to read. This morning she read The Very Hungry Bear and The Ear Book with help on only two words!
