Last summer, we tried reading charts for Emily and Hannah to keep up with their reading skills. It worked very well! They’d read ten to fifteen simple books, and get an ice cream cone. Then, they’d read ten to fifteen more, and get another ice cream cone. They could work up to four or five treats, and then get a toy at the end when the chart was all full. I expected this chart to last all summer. They finished it in a week. The ice cream was good, though!
So, this summer, we will do something similar. I just made these charts up this morning. And, Robby gets one to work on, too! He needs some extra incentive to get all his ABC’s down before Kindergarten starts this fall. I would have made one for Christopher, but, don’t know what I should make it for. He’ll just have to reap the benefits of his older siblings’ hard work! :)
