Her small highness's school is having their annual reading contest to encourage children to read. Parents record the number of minutes read each night. Last year this was the tipping point in Naomi deciding she would consent to read independently, as previous to making it a competition, she averred that she did not need to read, as she had "people" to do that for her.
This year, she is reading fluently and has turned into the little bookworm we expected. Problem? The school limits the minutes recorded to 30 per day, which for Naomi would now be a lower limit on a really busy day. So she reads 3 hours, we record 30 minutes. No fair!

Be careful. Side effects of excessive reading include, but are not limited to, becoming a nerdy science geek, and even grad school in extreme cases. Make sure that she gets a healthy dose of video games and YouTube so that she becomes a well-rounded individual.
