When I need encouragement


This is a pretty classic picture of reading with Colin.  We are 2 words into the lesson and he's being goofy and even laughing that I'm trying to get him to read a paragraph and I'm trying everything I can think of to motivate him through the page, even if it means a chocolate chip for every word sounded out.

But I know these painful "deposits" into his literacy account are worth it.  It will click one day.  There will be a day that he withdraws all these deposits and becomes a fantastic reader.

When I need encouragement for Colin, I will look at this picture; the day it really clicked for Eli and he stayed up REALLY late to finish his chapter book.
