30 minutes dedicated to reading. As a forced requirement. Way to instill a love of reading there, huh? We all know that kids just love doing things they are forced to do. *rolls eyes*
And that is in addition to the regular "home learning" (ie, homework) that the teacher sends home. So, the kids spend an entire hour with homework before they can eat, bathe, watch TV, spend time with family, etc.
It's not Scottish.
Good grief.
The only thing I can suggest is that you two find books you both enjoy and read together. Make it a family activity. What sorts of books does she like? If there's a book you know she'd like but that's really too hard to read herself, why not have one of those evenings be "read to her" nights? Believe me, having books read to you is just as important as practicing reading yourself.
Hehehe....have her do her reading assignment during class.
Yah... that makes it look almost like reading is a "punishment" of sorts.
That's no way to get kids to like to read. It needs to be something exciting for them, and they'll crave it anyway.
