I know we should limit TV, but I do allow a little TV each day. I just read a really cool tip for making TV more educational. Turn on the closed captioning so they read along with the show. I never thought about this, but I think it's a brilliant idea. That doesn't mean that Ashley will get to watch TV all day, but at least it will reinforce her reading skills as she watches TV.

Yeah, I tried that once with Kylie, not for the reason of trying to get her to watch less, but to give her practice reading....she totally despised it and figured out how to turn it off herself. laugh.gif Not sure how she did it, as it took me a long time to figure out how to turn it on.
