I can't stand that attitude. I don't think kids really get ahead that way. They may meet status quo, but wouldn't you want them to strive to be more?
Anyway, thanks for all the tips and suggestions!
I did the first page in the activity book today, which was just recognizing letters and after reading them with her, I asked her to find certain letters, and was easily able to pin-point trouble letters for her (N, Q, U), but the nice thing was after that fist page (labled day 1), she wanted to go on to the next page. After completing a few pages, you get to put a sticker on the bottom of the page as kind of a reward. It even has exercise breaks like "touch your toes 10 times" in between some of the activities...really cool stuff!
Later that day she was much more open to answering questions I was asking while I was reading to her during my sons OT and Speech therapy session.
