I think we may be getting somewhere with "love of reading"

Erika has not yet reached the point where reading a book generally seems like a fun thing to do with her free time.

I have seen signs lately that it may be coming, though. Several times recently, she has continued reading past her assigned block of required reading time. Yesterday, she told me reading was her second-favorite part of school, after math. Today she commented at the end of assigned reading time that she knew she didn't have time left, but she was just going to keep reading. She finished the book. Not a long book, but still...

Then in the afternoon, she read a book in the car for fifteen or twenty minutes.

I'll be interested to see how this develops.
