UPDATE! This is toooooo funny. We went to the book barn to find the Hunger Games and they didn't have it...but DD9 got so excited about books suddently! She had an arm full! On the way home she suddently announces "Ya know why I haven't read anything since I read Harry Potter? 'Cause I liked it so much. I didn't want to leave it behind and move onto other books!" She now thinks she has enough room in her heart to love more than just the Harry Potter characters and said she realized this by reading this 600 Lexile Grimm book!
I never even really spoke with her about her not liking reading anymore. Because she never has really admitted that she didn't like it. She even read a bunch of books over the summer, but not like she used to. It was obvious she wasnt enjoying them like she used to.
Now I know that my intuition was right. She HAS admitted that she wasn't enjoying them. AND it wasn't the teacher's fault or the books fault (although we do have to ignore the Lexile rule), it was just that she didn't want to betray her favorite characters in the whole wide world and she needed time to say goodbye! lol..KIDS!
