Passthepotatoes- Thanks for your help. I just didn't think of this. Those are the type of words I need. Sometimes, I just don't get my kids and get stuck.

It feels like she is being ambitious with the reading so I would like her to feel satisfied. Maybe she just needs to know what she is doing is actually fine. This may be part of her perfectionism.

Hmm. As a Mom, I never feel like I'm doing enough. Iv'e been working on this. Maybe I could tell her when I'm satisfied. I'm trying to say more "ok that's enough house work for the day", let's go play it doesn't have to be perfect here, just liveable. This forum gets me thinking more. Thanks for being there.
