We have those, too -- 15 minutes 5x weekly or 1 hour, 15 minutes for the week divided however they choose. It's like pulling teeth for DS9 to do these. He got a "U" on his report card for reading homework the first quarter because he hardly turned any of them in. He did manage to finish the book that was assigned over Christmas vacation, and passed the test on it for a reward, but he's just not into fiction and refuses to be bothered with filling out a reading log on anything else. It's one of those things where I'm torn between a "sink or swim" approach and a more hands-on approach under the assumption that it's one of his 2E "things" that takes more work.
