Our kids won't be.<br /><br />Daye, I haven't read those yet with my boys, but I think we will need to remedy that this summer. It is just beautiful to witness the benefits!<br /><br />Louisa, Honey for a Child's Heart and Jim Trelease's "Read Aloud Handbook" have great lists.

Therefore, much affirmation and value is communicated to those who are read with. 2. Adults/parents can make stories ever so rich with dramatic intonations, etc. 3. Poetry, read by those who love it and value it for its musical, artistic, even spiritual qualities, can infect young ones with a longing to express themselves and an ability to enjoy the beauty of thoughts and the sounds of words.Families of the Nationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876367490954881560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097106319719770069.post-20192622879991739482012-05-22T10:56:45.587-07:002012-05-22T10:56:45.587-07:00Reading aloud has been one of my biggest education...Reading aloud has been one of my biggest educational goals through the past school year. This blog encouraged me to keep it up! (I like knowing the WHY, too!) I would love to hear of any good reading lists that you can recommend to help us utilize the public library more effectively.Beautiful Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787181316175307857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097106319719770069.post-9935784758728577322012-05-22T06:45:44.428-07:002012-05-22T06:45:44.428-07:00We recently started reading through the Little Hou...We recently started reading through the Little House series and already my kid's are completely enthralled.

I truly love doing this and need to get our summer reading list made up. I forget sometimes, though, that I have to think of books that girls AND boys like. This may be trickier than I imagine.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574653924255126134noreply@blogger.com
