Speaking of sparking an interest in reading . . . we met with DD9's teacher last night and discovered why she hates her reading group so much. They really do stop and analyze every page! While the teacher spoke glowingly of how they had a 15 minute conversation about the very first paragraph of the book, all I could think was "No wonder she feels her life being sucked away." They have been reading this book for weeks and are still only 1/4 of the way into it. I hope this doesn't make her want to stop reading.
Could something like this have happened to your DD?
