Nurture a love of books
We’re
As part of our homeschooling, the middle two girls and I read a book together – even at 10 and 7 it’s great for them to be read to – they get the enjoyment of stories that may be a little above their reading abilities,they can decode a book they are listening to better sometimes than if they are reading it for themselves – it’s also a great bonding, family thing to do all together.
My girls also will sit and read to Beastie now, they love to re-read their old picture books to him, he loves the stories and they get some fantastic reading practice too! Beastie currently loves reading some of the ‘That’s not my…’ to me – his favourite is ‘That’s not my puppy’. I love the connection and bond enjoying books together brings, and I love watching my kiddos get lost in some of the stories that I enjoyed as a child.
This nursery in Teddington have created this great infographic, showing just how reading helps our kids, as well as offering some tips to get you started!
Do your kiddos love to read or be read to? What are some of your favourite stories?
