bust out your crayons

I guess this is just wishful thinking....

Getting my daughter to read books with me is so not an issue.  Getting her to try reading on her own, however, is.  She just thinks it's too hard to even try.  I asked a homeschooling lady I know with brilliant kids what I can do, and she told me to try reading charts.  She said that the kids obviously just recite the book from memory, but if they're pointing to the words and saying them, it will get easier and easier for them to learn.  So, we tried it once and it was awesome.  My little girl got a trip to the aquarium and learned to read a bunch of little words.  Rewards for both of us :)  Anyway, I thought I'd share some reading charts with you.  So bust out your crayons, stickers, and books and get reading
