Kristen loved Black Beauty. One of her all time favorite books.-Missy
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this is your list to read and that you haven't read all this in 6 days. (I'm a little intimidated.)
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm Julia and I found your blog on WTM website.
With the exception of the mommy reads, yes we have read these. But keep in mind these are children's storybooks and short for the most part. Rhiannon needs to read a book a day or a number of pages from a longer book. Black Beauty and Peter Pan we were able to read primarily because I am sick and have been doing little else, they are also adapted versions and probably only about 100-150 pages of reading each.
ReplyDeleteThat being said we do read aloud quite a bit between one to three hours a day all added up I would say. As I have younger kids some of our books are short. I typically will read between 2-6 storybooks per day and several chapters from a larger book. But we love to read here.
As for the mommy reads they are all in progress. I can never read one book at a time. I am working through Purpose Driven Life slowly one chapter a day as recommended. I am listening to Built to Last on tape in the car. Anna Karenina while I love it is hard to read for long periods of time so that one will take me several months I think. The money management ones are my non fiction and Christmas Story is the one I pick up when I want to read a lot and quick.
Peace,
Tenn
Wow. I do have to say that I'm intimidated. I don't know how you get anything else done reading all of those books! I'm amazed!
ReplyDeleteHow do you keep track? Do you just write them all down as you read them?
Your blog is so organized...I'm always amazed by how much you seem to get done. Where do you get your energy???
Thicket Dweller,
ReplyDeleteWe read several times a day and it is not neccesarily for long periods of time in my mind - though for others it might be. We generally read between one to two hours a day. We might also listen to some audio books from time to time as well.
As for my energy - I am tired often, LOL! We have made some pretty concious and intentional choices as parents about how to spend our time and energy and that gives me more time to read to my kids.
I have streamlined many areas of my life and we also do not watch television which opens up large chunks of time in comparison to mamy other families I know. I will read to my older kids while I nurse my younger child, I will have my daughter do her read alouds to me while I fold laundry or prepare meals, we read before naps and bed and usually sometime in the morning. I try to never say no when asked to read a book (though for pratical reasons I do need to say no sometimes) and my kids look to books as entertainment and a source of enjoyment. Of course my husband and I do as well.
The reality is I am good at reading to my kids but I have other areas I am not as good at. I don't like to do science projects and art projects often, and we do them maybe once a week or so. I am not a run around outside mom. And I will almost always choose to read rather than play with my kids. There are advantages to this and their are downsides. But we are a reading family.
Peace,
Tenn
Your suggestions are inspiring. We don't watch television, either, except for the Little House on the Prairie DVDs and other occasional movies. But we're definitely not bound by television. We do a lot of cooking and baking, playing and cleaning, writing and talking, and my kids are involved in things like choir and volunteer work, so it's kind of hard to stick around home and sit still long enough to read. But to read while I'm nursing, or to have someone read while I'm doing laundry are good ideas. We usually have in-depth conversations and book reviews while I'm doing those things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions. Very inspiring.
Have you done any lesson plans with The house in the mail. If so can you tell me what you did?
