Hi,

One of the things I loved most to do with my kids was read to them. In the rocking chair while they were on my lap, in the lake (in the summer) in inner tubes! When there was a thunder and lightning storm, both boys would sit with me (with candles lighting the pages of the books) and we would read til the electricity came back on. These times of reading together were times of learning and bonding.

My boys (young men now) still love to read - for college as well as for pleasure! And the librarian of their High School reminded us (during parent visits) that it's always a good idea to read with our children, as they get older, to read the same books and discuss them!

Reading is a great way to teach our kids and to learn about them, how they think and how they learn.

Do you have experiences of reading with your kids to share with us?
