the library summer book club challenge last year was to read 10 books over the summer. she did well over 30. all the librarians love her and that's where she gets a lot of suggestions.

comprehension to me isn't just about reports. like i said she does the tests and quizes for books that have them because she enjoys those. we have deep discussions about what she reads during which i can get a good gauge of how much she's getting. and then her own writing is a reflection of what she's been reading. she loves books. wants to be a librarian when she grows up.

i think in this regard i'm lucky with her. but i wonder about the necessity of it all.
