how do you go about making story time or reading time> i have 3 kids. the youngest is 20mths and won’t sit still to a book. but he looks at it and bangs it or grabs it or throws it. But my other 2 are 5 and 6. one reads the other doesn’t at all. I am a reader and i am at loss but have been trying to create that passion for reading. so was just wondering on some tips on how you organize yourself on reading these books with kids.
thank you
What a great list. We are doing an artist study from Confessions of a Homeschooler and this fits right in. Happy Birthday to Pablo!!
This is such a fantastic idea! I was able to find 9 of these books at our local public library and am looking forward to picking these up tomorrow! Keep this up! Such a great resource for busy moms who don’t have time to be this creative themselves! I appreciate it!
