Well Earned

     Lately, I've been thinking of ways to reward my little sister for doing a great job reading. So after this week, I bought Cyprille her favorite candy which are M&M's. At first I wasn't sure if this was a good idea, because I'm pretty much just bribing her, even though I don't want to. I'm thinking of other ways I could reward her for doing a good job. But for now she gets candy. Cyprille's favorite candy is M&M's. She was so happy. I'm pretty sure she thinks that if she tries really hard reading every week, that I'll buy her candy each time. But what she doesn't know is that I wont be giving her candy each time.
     Cyprille and I watched more shows while reading the sub titles. My sister really likes anime, but as for me, I don't like it that much. Ill do whatever it takes to see improvement in my sister's reading, even if I have to watch shows I consider boring. Improvement wise, Cyprille has really gotten better at reading at a little faster pace. She still makes mistakes while reading. She would mispronounce a word here and there. I am really proud of her improvement and how much she's been enjoying reading. Sometimes I would hear her reading out loud the dialogue of video games on her iPad.

  1. You should research the effectiveness of rewards. It's a constant debate in education.

  2. I think rewarding her wouldnt really be considered as a bribe I think she would do better most of the time if she's getting rewarded for it. I would do better if I was rewarded, everyone would. :)
