conuly1. Don't have any plans of academics over the summer.
2. Don't even like summer reading lists because they figure summer should be fun.
So asking Evangeline to cut herself down to one page a day instead of three or more is probably not that unreasonable. (Besides, the faster she works, the faster we have to buy new workbooks. Those things are expensive!)
Not that she listens, so it's all a bit moot. You know, she was like this when reading first clicked with her. It's not that we didn't want her to read (well, I mean, I kinda didn't - teaching Ana to read was a huge mistake :P, now she reads all the time and we can't pry the books out of her hands long enough to make her brush her teeth and she READS AHEAD!!! when I'm reading chapter books with them, which is just annoying), but did she have to do that all the time? With us? And throw herself over her books whenever we suggested that maybe three hours of reading was sufficient? So maybe once she works her way through this workbook the thrill will be gone?
