READING AND FUN READING ACTIVITIES

Recently I've taken to reading to my children (something I should have been doing I know).  I've always made sure that my son read but never actually read to him myself too often.  This summer I have been changing that as I have grown as a parent I have learned that somethings should take priority over others.  And don't get me wrong my son makes great grades and for the most part he always has; I just preferred to read to myself.  Anyway like I said I have grown as a parent and I am still growing, but I make sure to read to my children and I think I start sharing these experiences with others.  Currently our family reading experience has been started with the first book of the Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale.  I've read all of the books already and I really enjoyed them.  Since I am reading to my children who are not the targeted audience I do omit and/or change a few words here and there but overall it has been an enjoyable experience for all.  I also read at least one book to my four year old before she goes to bed.  We make a trip to the library once a week to stock up on books.  This week my son, who is 9, is tackling the Harry Potter series and the Alvin Ho series.  For my daughter, the 4 year old, we've gone with Dr. Seuss so of course we will be trying to make some oobleck.  Hope to have fun and praying for patience.  

Switching it up

Thinking of trying something else with this blog you know the saying try, try again... I'll keep trying until I find something that works.  I think I'll try a giveaway in the future not sure when, but hopefully soon.
