I've been sending the boys to go have SSR...that's sustained silent reading...every night after dinner while I clean the kitchen. I came up to check on them and this is what I found. How cute is that? They were all cuddled up in my bed reading the comic books they got for Christmas. It's working great! It gets them out of the kitchen and out from under my feet. Now, if the babes would only sit and read....*sigh*.
I have so many memories of my mother and of Great Gramma T. at the stove, stiring the food (soup/stew/oatmea/gravy) while reading a book! The love of learning is a powerful gift.
