A while back, I was wondering how I could get our children to read more. They have always enjoyed being read to, but how could I get them to read on there own more without being told?
Well, a couple months ago, I started reading more myself.... I finally finished reading Uncle Toms Cabin and I am currently on book 6 of The Work and the Glory. No more watching TV at night, I've been too busy devouring books. I can't believe I lingered on the first few chapters of Uncle Toms Cabin for about 2 years and finally I committed to reading it and finished it in less than a week. I absolutely loved it! Now I am hooked on The Work and the Glory Series. Anyway, what happened quite naturally is that my children started reading with me without being ask. They have been begging to stay up late so they could finish this book or that book. Coleson told me yesterday that he was currently reading four books at the same time. Kashée was my most difficult child to teach to read, and she is half way through her second Harry Potter book. This is just too great! I guess example is everything.
