This evening Nykolai completed his 50th book under the Victorian Premier’s Reading Challenge. The challenge runs from 31st January to 31st August and kids Nykolai’s age have to read 15 books from a given list within that time. Well, Nykolai blew through the 15 books in the first month and just hit 50 today. He wants to push on and try to read 100 by August 31st.
We had a deal running that if he reached 50 books, I’d get him a copy of the Kirby Canvas Curse game for his Nintendo DS. When he reached 40 books, I went an hunted it down (it’s out of production – I wound up having to go to Ebay to find one :)
Now we’re putting together a reward plan for the next 60, 70, 80, 90 & 100 books, each point earning a different gift.
Go Nykolai! (yes, we’re very proud of him :)
