My wife and I saw something similar to it (reading the article, I think it was one of the earlier studies) a while back and have been trying to do this with our son who is just in 1st grade this year.

Here's hoping it works out. P.S. BTW, found your blog randomly somewhere. How are things at UNC these days? I just read that yesterday.
