Kcab, our son, now 27, never bought into those reward programs. The problem with them is they don't take into account encyclopedias which he read voraciously at meals. He was so miserable at school for so many years that I swallowed my sense of ettiquette and allowed the one consolation of reading at the table. Yes, it was the annoyance he felt of keeping track of time. Structure like this always seemed silly to him and the organization it took, a bother. Are you feeling that her resistance will dampen her classmates chance of getting the pizza party? Is that how the program works, on emtional blackmail, peer-pressure, guilt? Is she inclined to read other material besides fiction chapter books? Perhaps her teacher will let encyclopedias, science magazines, count if added up for comparative volume to novels.
