I have to laugh... we do the same thing here... threaten to take away reading because that is the only thing that DC does all the time. How many people have to do that?! HAHA!

We had this issue last yr. Said DC read X words per min. (well, DC said, there was only that many words to the assessment.) It never stopped DC from reading the normal choice books. The teacher realized it. We got those generalized notes home too about reading. I just took them to mean they didn't apply to our situation wink
