intparent - I agree. I take him and his little sister to the library every week and let him check out whatever he wants. Problem is, they take AR tests on the books that they check out from the school library. On one hand, I tend to think I should just not worry about the AR tests, since they don't affect the child's grades. But Andrew gets so upset when he's not meeting his "goal" and getting the rewards that go along with it. I've pretty much settled for breezing through the first grade books every day, then rewarding him by reading whatever he wants.
