Homework over spring break (long)

In series books that are good but easier to read, has she tried the
Secrets of Droon series? I agree that the Choose your Own Adventure
books might be a hit as well. Finally, instead of focusing just on
books, take her to the library to look at some of the kids' magazines.
Discovery has a good looking magazine, and Cricket has a whole set of
magazines geared to different ages and stages. Ranger Rick is great if
she likes nonfiction. In any event, have her browse through a bunch and
once she finds one she likes, subscribe. My kids get Ranger Rick and
National Geographic Kids and can't WAIT for then to arrive each month.
My 7-year old loves Spider (one from the Cricket group) ... Highlights
has some good ones ...

I hope these ideas help. How old is your daughter, anyway?
