If Slugs Can Read...


I mentioned on Tuesday that some of the kids read How To Teach a Slug to Read by Susan Pearson. I wanted to share the ideas that one of the 4th graders came up with for reading at home!


We talked about deciding on a family reading time when him and his family can all gather together and read books together. I'm a mom with two kiddos and I know how busy both of them keep me but I read to my sons every night. It's a quiet part of my day that I look forward to. It might only be 10 or 15 minutes a night - or once a week - but spending time together reading and talking about books is one of the most important things a parent can do for their child. And, if slugs can teach their kiddos to read...shouldn't we be trying to, too?
