My youngest is really into the Redwall series and my oldest into the Warriors series. Plus, we are using Sonlight core 6 this year (for the first time.) There are so many good boy books in this core. I don't have to remind them to read!<br /><br />I do like your incentive though. I will definitely keep it in mind for the summer! :)NCMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830931542063575891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-19073278969382340482009-10-30T07:36:17.810-05:002009-10-30T07:36:17.810-05:00Clever mom!

My youngest is still learning to read so this isn't an issue yet, but may become one as he would rather be drawing than reading. I'll keep it in mind! I'm glad I'm not the only one who drastically limits computer games though.
