The Summer Reading Program

Until my schedule really calms down in August we don't have the time to go to the library's summer reading program so we are doing one ourselves. I made a chart that has about 200 squares. Each time we read a book this summer with Savannah she gets a 'HIGH FIVE' sticker. She gets to pick the color sticker, peel it off the paper herself and pick the square that it goes into. She enjoys it so much.

Today, I opened her bedroom door to find her reading (flipping through the pages to see the pictures). As kids my brother loved books much more than I ever did (mainly because I was a terrible reader) and I want Savvy to have the same love as Peter. Savannah was really starting to want to watch TV, movies or videos on the computer all the time. I love how she is starting to ask for us to read her a book.

I was in the kitchen making her breakfast this morning when I walked into the living room and saw her flipping through a book. I had to take a quick picture... the sticker board is WORKING!
