Problems with Emma

Emma has been complaining of headaches while reading. She first complained when they had to read on the computer for 45 minutes for district standardized testing. She complains when she reads books at home. I made an appointment for her to get her eyes checked. Turns out her vision is perfect. The doctor did put reading "magnifying glasses" on her and she proclaimed that they really helped make the words easier to read.

For a little girl that didn't want to wear glasses, she sure did have fun picking out her frames. She even told the young man who charted her eye measurements that her baby blue frames, "Match my eyes!" She spent quite a bit of time in front of the mirror admiring herself.
Her second grade teacher tasked the class with reading for 20 minutes, 5 nights a week. They have a full 7 days to get the reading done, but this is how much the students are required to read. The headache complaints made me a little relaxed with mandating Emma's reading. What kind of mom would I be sitting my daughter down to read knowing that she would suffer from a headache?! Now she has the glasses, and she still doesn't want to sit down and read. I think she's just a kid that wants to play. We have to set some guidelines now that the busy weekend is over.
