What is the benefit to the child with reading problems?
Children with reading problems aren't always "excited" about reading, but the thing they need most is to read. This strategy gives 15 more minutes and they are excited about staying up later. Since it is the end of the day have your child choose "easy" reading material and, once again, they think they are "getting away" with something - and they are, they are getting to READ!
