Reading Fingers

My 6-year-old stubbornly refused to use her finger to follow along in her reading books.  She would half-heartedly brush the text with her finger as she lost her place and, eventually, lost interest, in what she was reading.

My 6-year-old is also especially attracted to things that glitter.  She accessorizes every outfit, raids my jewelry box daily, and has been known to wander off with some of Grandma's more expensive items.

So, it was only logical to give her something shiny and attractive to keep her focused on her reading assignments.  

Enter: The Reading Fingers.  

Now, both nails on Maggie's index fingers (and mine) are painted with chartreuse glitter polish.  Maggie thinks they are fabulous.  And reading has become a lot more interesting for us both.
