i have had troubles getting elizabeth to read. anything. which has been making school difficult.
she doesn't even like to read things to me.
yesterday, i found a "solution," at least temporarily. i had seen an image somewhere, they had to convince themselves to study (must have been a dry subject). they placed skittles at the end of each paragraph in their textbook. when they reached the skittle, they could eat it. i was in the process of making individual bags of snacks, while i was trying to get elizabeth to do her literature. so, i placed a mini marshmallow at the end of paragraphs. when she reached the marshmallow, she could eat it. she read her story without any problems!
now, granted, this is not a permanent solution. but, for now, it will work.

awesome idea! i'm filing that away for later, as Sam is so incredibly difficult to motivate to do even the simplest things much of the time. he's really not the only one with motivational issues, just the worst!
