Show me the money.



I want to make sure that Ellery is reading through the summer, so i came up with a plan that will encourage her to read. She wants to shop at the store Justice for her back to school clothes, so I told her for every chapter book she reads I would give her a dollar to spend at Justice. I made a sheet with 50 lines to write each book she reads. I was thinking $50 bucks to Justice is perfect, I would end up spending the money anway (don't tell her that) and she is reading through the summer. So she immediately starts reading a book and 45 minutes later she has a book finished, $1 dollar to spend. Then she heads upstairs for a while and comes back down, book number 2 finished. She asked if I could print out 3 more sheets because she is going to read 200 books = $200 dollars to Justice. She is an ambitious girl so we shall see where we end up come August! I secretly hope she does it!! It would be worth every penny to see her read that many books!
