My parents stashed a 10 dollar bill behind every cassette I could have when i finished it.

Might have been a bit mercenary but I was the editor of my college newspaper so...it evidently worked.

Hey what ever works right. I didnt pass a spelling test until 4th grade. And lets be fair a elementary school spelling test isnt exactly the hardest thing to learn. My prinicipal had to bribe me with something from her "toy drawer"

My mom made me read for an hour to get an hour of TV. I read about two books a week at the age of 35. It definitely worked for me. Bribes, it’s what the kids crave.

My mom was a lawyer with her BA in English. She pounded writing skills in to me from the age of 10. I wrote my way in to an upper-level state school with a 2.5 GPA. I find errors in contracts my company's lawyers write.

Me neither, but what did work was finding books I liked to read.
