Gosh they make reading sound like the worst thing in the world! I love reading, and I think it's great they are starting home reader's at such a young age. I've always had a love of reading and know I get it from my mum as she is an avid reader as well. Books are great for entertainment/education and learning and shouldn't be made to feel like a chore as they seem to imply it is!

Congrats for your DD, she should be very proud!
