Tell her you're learning so much about learning right now, that you've
decided to take vacation from the old ways for awhile. Sure, let her read
the books she wants. In a month, you may have a better concept of what you
do or don't want to do with her, and you can talk more then.

>Do I just stop the scope and sequence stuff? COLD TURKEY?!

Sure, why not? If she had pneumonia and was in the hospital, you wouldn't
be hovering around with the scope and sequence, would you? Let it be for
awhile. I'm sure it'll still be there if you want to go back to it.

If you just let her choose what to read, decide where she might like to go,
consider things she might want to try? What would happen? What would she
choose? Pretend it's Saturday tomorrow, and the day after, and the day
after that, too. Heck, figure it's Saturday for the next month! I dare you
to try and keep her from learning anything in the next month! <bwg>
