KaeLynn's school had a contest in their 3rd grade, that one boy and one girl that got the most "Reading Counts' points wins a bike. When I found out about this contest, I knew that this would be the perfect motivation for KaeLynn to get a new bike since she was just complaining to me that morning how much she needs a new one. She set her mind to it and she won. The Reading Counts program is when the kids read books that count for points. The harder the book, the more points it's worth. When she decided that she was going to be serious about doing this, there was another girl in her grade that was already 200 points ahead of her. But that did not discourage her. But it wasn't just about the bike. KaeLynn discovered a love for reading that we all didn't know she had. She read all the Percy Jackson series, and loves all the book that author Rick Riordan writes. She also discovered that she can accomplish what she sets her mind too! She ended up getting 660 points! I am so happy for her! Now that summer has begun, her and I are reading the Harry Potter series together.
