July 7, 2010

Only July and I am aching to get this year started, lol...




I think I am used to year-round...







Anyways, we found out our library has a reading program. The kids read 20 minutes a day, color in a picture. When all 5 pictures are filled up, they get to chose from a prize box! I brought this idea home, and they immediately sat down to read a book.



Rachel read-

Jack & Jill: The Miracle Dog with a Happy Tail to Tell


when she was done with this, she began working on

Bedtime for Frances (Trophy Picture Books)

The twenty minutes ended before she had time to finish.  Gracie picked up this book too (turns out, we have 2!).  It was challenging for her, but I told her next time we could sit down and read together. 

What fun!!  Finally a way to get them excited to read! ;)-now if I can just get them to form the habit.

Happy Homeschooling!
