As we all know reading and writing are essential to our kids. One of the first things we are told when we become parents is to make sure that we make time to read out loud to our kids so they may develop better communication skills.
I love reading, if I were to give you a glance of my Nook's Library, you will see a list of over 200 books. And yes, I have read every single one of them, some I have read at least three times. I love losing myself in the story.
Recently our son has found a series he loves and so far he still wants to continue to read the series even though his summer reading log has been completed and turned in.
Our daughter prefers when we read to her out loud, I think she loves this because Mommy makes all the faces an funny noises to go with the story line.
