Alright...never mind

I have been having Hope read selected stories out of her school reader books. Most of the stories are pretty boring, and I'd really rather she read real books rather than ones with specific sounds/words omitted to follow their curriculum. So we skim. I skimmed through and found a story about the Pilgrims. I figured- reading practice and history lesson in one! We had read about the Pilgrims in her history book several weeks ago, but she can always read it again, right? When I told her to read the story, she said: "The Pilgrims? Boring. Besides, they were really called the Separatists." Alright- if you know that much, maybe you don't need to read that one.
