Asalaamu alaikum warahmatullah!
My little Maryam (6) is what I would call a 'reluctant reader', masha Allah. In order to build her confidence, I made her a reading chart based on a character I created to share the 4 maths processes with her: Queen Maryam the First.
This is how it works: for every book that she reads on her own (it can be anything at all, even board books), she moves up one step on the path through the forest, on her way to the castle. Every ten steps earns her a treat or a gift and, when she finally reaches the castle (after 50 books), she gets a party for her and her friends.
She was thrilled when she saw the poster and was so stoked that she read 10 books in the first week! Alhamdulillah! Now I need to get with the programme and get her her gift!

That's a wonderful idea. My 5 year old is a VERY reluctant reader. We are gonna have to make a chart of our own methinks.
