Bamma's Book Club

Last week I started Bamma's Book Club.

We have a couple of reluctant readers in our group. I suppose those are the ones I'm targeting the most, but really I want them all to read.

• I printed up a couple of pages of favorite books for each age and asked them to help me make the list longer
• I brought out favorite books from my shelf that their mother and father loved
• I told them I'd pay them each $10 for one finished book during a month
• I offered the $10 to their parents as well

For the 3-7 year olds the money seems like a lot. For the 10-12 year olds the money seems like a nice perk. For the 14-year-old the money isn't incentive enough to spend time reading.

I know a 7-year-old and a 12-year-old have already finished their book for the month. We'll let you know what happens with everybody else.
