I was reading the post Book Report Blues and was hoping to get some advice as I am in a similar situation.


Everett, 13 going on 14, has to do a book report on Saint Francis Assini.

I gues the only solution you have right now is make him do his entire report over the weekend. This is what I did with Sravan. If he finished his report on Friday or Saturday, then Sunday he could play with anything (like the gameboy, which is offlimits during the school year).

He did actually read for two hours on Saturday and then after a lot of nagging from me he finally wrote a decent summary of what he had read.
