Several times the
book has gotten closed without her place being marked. So - maybe we
should limit the length of books she is allowed to read, because she
really does so "over" react when she loses her place - it is such a
terrible source of frustration for her! <BEG>
===========
You could require her to read to the end of a chapter, or lose her reading
privileges.
You could take the book away from her for a week if she whimpers or cries
about losing her place.
But limiting her to very small books she can read in one sitting seems to
solve the frustration problem in the traditional fashion. <g>

How about telling her 15, 10 and 5 minutes in advance when she'll have to
stop reading. Then Remind her to put her book mark in. "No more reading
today, you have had enough."

That would be a heck of a lot better than what some parents do about video
games, which is to say "Turn it off NOW," or what some parents do about TV or
movies which is just turn turn the TV off without advance notice.
