I myself wanted my children reading "decent" books. But I recently read "The Read Aloud Handbook" by Jim Trelease and I have had to rethink some of my beliefs. It's great that he is reading, isn't it. It took forever for my children to develop a love of reading and it took books I wouldn't have really wanted them reading to do it. <br />I also wanted to mention I am having trouble getting the blog hop link to work, I mean to put the list of blogs in my post. It won't let me copy it by highlighting like it used to. Please help if you can.kewkewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12668211363344117034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-22117377815951532872010-05-06T21:35:19.230+10:002010-05-06T21:35:19.230+10:00I agree - its so exciting when they start reading ...I agree - its so exciting when they start reading on their own that I really don't care what they read! We do a lot of read-alouds of better quality stuff, and he listens to audio books, so I think that helps whet the appetite for when they can handle the books. That's the theory, anyway!!Kezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15915193876879614644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-20599229640674623402010-05-05T20:18:20.569+10:002010-05-05T20:18:20.569+10:00I'm with you Kylie, when they're just star...I'm with you Kylie, when they're just starting out ANY reading is GOOD reading! There will be time for literature and 'hard reads' later on, or we can read them TO the kids and share OUR love of the book with them. <br /><br />Later, when they've developed skill at the mechanics of reading, they'll hopefully benefit from our exposing them to the finer things... but for now...I'm not complaining if my kiddo wants to read Captain Underpants (ok, seriously, we don't actually OWN those books. But I do wait for the day when he MUST have them from the library LOL)Cazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13101654851982990627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-17470515517365791952010-05-05T16:08:10.061+10:002010-05-05T16:08:10.061+10:00Kylie,

Isn't that great?...Congratulations, Kylie/Mom! Isn't that great?! And now you also know just how much a simple suggestion from Mom to her son means! (I don't know anything about these books, But your placing excellent reading "on the shelf" and making a suggestion here and there, may influence him in the future, too.) Isn't it wonderful to be the one to teach your children to read and introduce them to really great books?! I'm so happy for you both! Reading is one of the truly great achievements, and pleasures, in life, in my opinion.<br />Blessings,<br />Wendy<br />Faith's Firm Foundation<br />www.wendygunn.netWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.com
