One day six weeks into silent reading . . .

When I say to finish the sentence time is up, I hear "NO! NO! NO!"

I look up and ask, “What?”

He says it's not fair and he has to know what happens. (He had opened to a random page in a random book and gotten drawn into the story.)

I smiled and said, "Welcome to our world. Yes, read and see what happens."

A few minutes later he joined us in the assignment.
