"I worry about the external rewards we think we must offer to motivate  
children to learn to read and write. I have found that they are altogether  
delighted with the rewards born inside....They don't realize how brilliantly  
capable 
they are, and it is one pleasant surprise when it dawns on them. That's  what 
brings them back for more." (p.98)
 
I would love to hear reactions to this statement. :-) 
Comments anyone?
