Reading aloud as a family has been important to me. In the past it has sometimes fallen by the wayside of crazy schedules, general fatigue and my own forgetfulness. I decided to start the
Little House on the Prairie series with the boys with the goal of getting through the first two books before school starts. With the occasional help from grandma, we are making good progress and should finish
Little House in the Big Woods this week.
I learned something from this recent reading quest:
If it is a book that I enjoy, I am much more likely to read it to the boys.
It seems obvious, but I used to look for books that I thought they would like. Many of them didn’t interest me and it was hard to keep my reading momentum going.
For me it has been easier to get a family ritual of
reading to STICK if it is fun.
And now for some more
fun…

We all pile into our bed and read as part of our nighttime routine. Books area also available around the house so we can read whenever the mood strikes!
We take our two daughters to Storytime at the library each week. We also enroll them in a fun summer reading program and really work on reading to them each day!
Always looking for a good travel buddy!

Every night my daughter and I take the last 30 minutes before bed to read. We get all comfy on the couch. Sometimes we read a book together out loud, and other times we each read silently. It is a very relaxing way to end the night!
