READ. Out loud. Daily. Read picture books. Read science books. Read history. Read chapters from your favorite children’s fiction. Read nonfiction. Reading is better than lecturing. Reading is more fun and stimulating to the imagination than television.
We try to read picture books to the younger set every day. We are usually reading through a longer fiction book with whoever is old enough to sit still and listen. Right now we’re reading Little House on the Prairie. We also use many of the books from the Sonlight curriculum catalogue. Reading aloud is a way of life in our homeschool, and it should be in yours. too.
My twin boys are turning three this week. I try to read to them at least twice a day. They won’t sit for long and listen, but they do love to look at the pictures and point out their favorite characters. I hope we will be reading longer books soon 🙂
