I woke up with a great idea to motivate more reading with my children....
Have them earn media minutes.
The way I set it up is:
1 page read outloud = 3 minutes of media
1 page read in mind= 1.5 minutes of media
So, they come report to me what they have earned and
I put media minute tokens in a jar with their name on it.
They can turn them in for use at any time
if they have all their schoolwork and family chores done.
Media = ipad games, computer games, extra videos/tv, radio, youtube, etc
that is inline with the commandments of God (no swearing, killing, adultery)
So far, they have been very motivated- especially in the car.
