books

We're doing the summer reading program at our house.
We have one very ambitios worker & another that needs a little (and sometimes a lot) poking and proding to do work. Then there are the younger ones that sort of follow along and do what they can when necc.

At the library the older 2 are getting their 2nd prizes for reading books, the younger 2 getting their first prizes:
child 3: (mad b/c he didn't get the same 1st prize that the older 2 got) ugh! I wanted a water bomb!
child 1: you are in a different reading group so you get different prizes. It's okay, we'll play with your prize on the slip'n'slide today.
child 3: ya, i am in a different group. i have to rent books and look at pictures. then i get prizes.


**honestly, i was shocked that he knew/thought that! ha ha. when we started the program i told the them that in order for the younger 2 to earn their stickers, either they or i would have to read to the younger 2. If they read, it would count on both the charts. If i read it would only count on the younger one's charts. ..... Picture books!!! ah ha ha ha.

  1. Border's has a great summer reading program. If you read ten books you get a free book from the list of books they have and there are a lot of good ones to choose from. We got our yesterday. And the worker said if the read ten more then they can get another one. Borders.com should have list you can print out
