Holidays

Children of all ages love holiday related stories. Your local and school libraries should carry a variety of holiday books. At election time, "My Teacher for President" by Kay Winters is a very fun book. As are "The One Hundredth Day of School!" by Abby Klein and "Alabaster's Song" by Max Lucado just to name a few. Take your child to the local library and let them get their own library card and start checking out books today!

Keep on Reading,

I am currently reading Mrs. Oke's --Love Comes Softly-- series and love it. If you enjoy the Hallmark movies based on her books then you will love the reading!!!!

Why Read?

The correct question is why not?! Reading is the foundation to ALL learning. If you can read then the skies the limit. When you read you can be transformed to another time or place. You can use your imagination and thoughts to be a king, queen, a pioneer, or the worlds fastest runner!!!!
But, there is also, reading the newspaper, reading directions to Friday night's ballgame and of course reading the menu at the hamburger joint.
So please, teach someone to read!
