A Successful #GrowingBookworms Moment
July 09, 2019
Yesterday afternoon, after a busy day, my daughter left the bathroom declaring that she was going to read "every word" of Kristy's Big Day (a Baby-Sitters Club graphic novel that she has read many times). She curled up on the couch to do so and a period of quiet ensued. Then I heard her give a deep, satisfied sigh and say: "I love that book!".
That's all. Just a teeny tiny moment in the life of raising a young bookworm. But for me, such moments are what it's all about. I do have three conclusion to draw from this experience.
- If you want your children to love books, you should let them re-read to their hearts' content. It doesn't matter what they are reading, just that they enjoy it and choose it themselves.
- It is worthwhile to purchase copies of the books that your children really love, because you never now when the whim to read a beloved title might strike.
- It is also worthwhile to keep book baskets in convenient locations around your home, especially in the bathrooms.
Just saying…
