Mar. 4, 2008 - Reading Aloud to our Children

Do you read out loud to your children? I heard recently that pediatrician’s recommend reading out loud to your children for 15 minutes per day. That’s not a whole lot to ask, and it is a good place to start, a good minimum. In Jim Trelease’s book, “The Read Aloud Handbook”, he states that being read aloud to is the most telling predictor of academic success for children. I don’t know about you, but I am not aiming for the minimum here!

Cute picture!

If you get a chance, let me know how reworking your kitchen towel drawer turned out for you.

You know -- that idea would probably work in an underwear drawer too, wouldn't it? I may have to try that one today since school is canceled due to the ice storms here. (We take a break whenever the public schools are out.)

Are wonderful and easy to use and well worth the money if you have a good printer! I would never have done all that otherwise. It was fun!

15 minutes a day seems a pittance, doesn't it?!

About Me

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
