Book It!

Braden's preschool class learned about Dr. Seuss this week, and is getting ready to participate in the Book It Beginners program. Braden told me his teacher talked all about it and said, "You need to learn how to read so you can get a free pizza!" I doubt those were her exact words, but Braden was very excited about it. I tried to explain the importance of reading for reading's sake and listed lots of reasons why he would want to learn how to read, but apparently none of them could really compete with a free personal pan pizza. By the way... he doesn't really have to learn HOW to read to get the free pizza. His class just has to be read to for so many minutes a week or read a certain number of books, and they all get a certficiate. What fun!
