L'il Reader

Ella has begun the Summer Reading Program at our local library. This week she completed her first reading list and was able to pick out her first free book, a new Cam Jansen mystery. Look at that smile!

Go Miss El! I love the library's program, and give it much credit for my life-long love of reading. Grab those books, a blanket, and hit the yard, I say!
Yeah, that thing was awesome. Go Ella!

Emma still hates to read. Sigh. I think she might be allergic to books.....

Abby! What about other forms of reading...does she like magazines? I just found out that you can check out back issues of magazines at the library. I've seen animal/nature magazines that I might try sometime.

She comes by it naturally. She has two Grandpa's that hate to read. And a couple of cousins too.

It used to irritate me to no end. But she knows how to read. That is what matters. I do not push it.

Emma is a literal person. One day she may be inclined to read non-fiction. She is not much interested in anything that is not concrete.

I asked her today what she liked about our current schooling. She said math and science. I asked about reading, writing, English, vocabulary and she gagged.

It is what it is. Just reaffirms though that home schooling is best. If I stick her in school they will force her to read a lot. I fear that will kill the love of learning she does have.
