CSA Box as Reading Lesson

Recently we have been trying to show Miss Pear how important reading is to every day life. One of her newest jobs is to help me "inventory" the CSA box. Our method goes like this:

1. Pull the CSA box in off the front steps before breakfast, open to warm if it was really cold putting away anything that requires refrigeration.
2. Eat breakfast.
3. Empty box all over kitchen island putting like things together.
4. Give list and pencil to Miss Pear.
5. She reads each item and quantity.
6. I say we have it, sometimes pretending to not be able to locate it to help her identify things.
7. She checks it off
8. Repeat items 5-7 until the box contents are completely reviewed.
9. Store all veggies and fruits.

This has been a lot of fun for her, and it helps her to feel useful and productive, something she loves.

We have only had one problem with this process, and that was the day Daddy snuck an orange out of the box and did not tell her. It was quite cute.

How do you make reading a practical thing in your home - I love new ideas!
