I guess we have to be careful what we call it around children! :-) <br />That is really sad about the lack of participation in the reading program. 20 books over a whole summer is not very much... if they just read one book at bedtime, they'd easily reach that number in less than 3 weeks!! My parents read to me every day when I was a kid. And we read one or two short books each night to our kids, or else a longer chapter book over several nights. Bedtime stories only take about 15 minutes for pete sake! I read to them during the day as well, and encouraged them to read on their own. That is the teacher in me, I suppose.

When I graduated college, and I could read anything I wanted, I instantly loved reading. My nose is in a book as much as it can be. Yea to you for making reading a priority and congrats to Pierce! <br /><br />I am glad to hear you are not eating monkeys at your house and got that cleared up with Pierce. I probably would have had the same thought at his age.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-15944446543433021002013-09-06T14:57:15.456-04:002013-09-06T14:57:15.456-04:00I used to read a looooot when I was a kid, I still...I used to read a looooot when I was a kid, I still read now, quite some, but also have periods when I don't feel like reading at all.Vision By Milahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584345612040029946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-30831371078314689432013-09-06T14:52:14.962-04:002013-09-06T14:52:14.962-04:00Beautiful windmill.

If they don't want to hear the child stumble over words, they can read to them as you said. However, it's so much better to sit quietly and listen to the child. The teachers here are big on reading; however it's sad to say but Hunter's school went from an A school to a D after the FCAT scores were completed. I bet a lot of that was reading and very sad.<br /><br />Have a great weekend, girl with your guys. :)Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865722713732049339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-25939584723739966862013-09-06T14:06:43.419-04:002013-09-06T14:06:43.419-04:00Poor Pierce!

Reading classes use books that were chosen by dome heads in offices because the stories were politically correct or pushed someone's personal agenda. I taught my hard core "reading sucks" kids by getting magazines on the things they liked. Guns, Nascar, hunting, that sort of thing. I taught at a very rural school with some rough characters but even the huns would read if they were interested. I had to cover my six by getting permissive letters from the parents but I never had a single one refuse. The girls were not that picky and would read books from our school library. It was the boys who were the challenge.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356235511941477035.post-85170475364725850002013-09-06T11:45:11.377-04:002013-09-06T11:45:11.377-04:00I noticed a huge field of lettuce plants today nea...I noticed a huge field of lettuce plants today near our place, 100's upon 100's our local producers hard at work but from your own garden, even better, funny monkey story, and C.
