Reading plan for the little ones
I realize that I’ve gotten away from reading to the younger ones very much. Soon they’ll be beyond the picture book years and I’ll miss this so much. I can’t believe Becky is already 6.5 year old. I’ve been reading The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge aloud to them. I can’t rave about this book enough. It is wonderful and very Christian. One of those types of books I categorize as ‘lovely books.’ But it is a chapter book that is largely over Becky’s head, though she’ll listen well enough as long as she has play doh to occupy her at the same time.
So real quick, before we go to breakfast, I’m dashing down my plan here. Inspired by this blog http://6traits.wordpress.com/nonfiction-monday/, I am going to read a non-fiction picture book to Sean and Becky on Mondays, on Tuesday, I’ll start reading fairy tales again from the Oak Meadow curriculum. I think the last time we read those was around Thanskgiving! Wednesday will be Bible stories, Thursday will be a fictional picture book and Friday will be poetry (since in the blog world many folks do poetry on Friday). So there! How’s that for a plan! I like it!
Off I go now to hot coffee, sausage, eggs and delicious hash browns with lots of red and green peppers in them. We always go to the same restaurant every Sunday morning. Aren’t you jealous?????
