Food is tough because of sensitivities :/ But we ended up at Barnes & Noble back in November and she was going out of her mind with all the choices. Perhaps that would work! I also like the idea of a big ticket item if she finishes so many books. I'll be sitting down tomorrow and writing up the plan. Thanks so much!

My daughter also loves to read, and she has a huge TBR pile of books. She loves the book fair at the school every year and can't wait to go shop for books. I usually tell her that she has to work though some of her existing books before she can get more, and that works - but I think this year we should do a more structured challenge with her. Let us know what you come up with!Carrie Beckorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324065022504846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-57410823614649142332016-01-02T12:48:58.635-05:002016-01-02T12:48:58.635-05:00So, it's Jan 2, I'm sure you've got th...So, it's Jan 2, I'm sure you've got this all figured out. What did you decide?? If you didn't get it figured out, when my son was younger, I used books as incentives for him to read his existing books. E.g., if he read 5 books, we could go to the bookstore and he could choose one book. If he read 10 books, we could go and he could choose 2, etc. We go to the library or second hand shops for books, so going to the actual bookstore was a big treat for him.Brenda St John Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995664320021950254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020653850161663700.post-84421527284188843772015-12-31T19:28:08.025-05:002015-12-31T19:28:08.025-05:00I like Steve's suggestion.I like Steve's suggestion.

If food's the kind of thing she's into, you could probably cover a couple of levels by going, "Okay, read ten books and you get a small fries from McDonald's, read 20 books and we'll go back and get a shake and a fry, and read thirty and we'll go back and get a whole Happy Meal...then we'll start thinking about Olive Garden." Or whatever. The other thing that springs to mind is if there's something high-end that you fully intend to buy her at some point this year anyway (like an iPad or a bike or something), make it the crazy, end-of-year 500 books read or whatever prize.Stephen Kozeniewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185600045044927669noreply@blogger.com
