Shannon,

Sounds like a great program! When my children were in elementary school they had to read one hour in order to watch 30 minutes of tv. It had to be apporved and typically from Friday after school - Sunday. For a short while we allowed our son to read to your youngest and "paid" him 30 minutes of tv for just 30 minutes of reading to her. We loved it and together with allowing them to stay up an "extra" 30 minutes to read in bed if they were brused and flushed and in pj's before official bedtime - they all four became good readers.
