This helped me push forward and finish college. <br />Sprite and I read every night. Where I used to read the books to her, she now reads the simple ones to me and I read chapter books to her. We start The Secret Garden tonight. :-)Sprite's Keeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790341033920919000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-31398553547814972012012-09-06T12:55:10.880-04:002012-09-06T12:55:10.880-04:00I absolutely, passionately agree with you about th...I absolutely, passionately agree with you about the reading to the kid thing. I read to Jude every single night of his life from the day he was born. He wasn't even 24 hours old and I read him The Cat in the Hat. I really, truly believe it makes a difference. By the time he was 4, I was reading complicated chapter books to him, and he completely got them. He may struggle with math, but he's off the charts in reading comprehension and vocabulary. Hmmm...maybe I should have been doing math with him every night!<br /><br />You are linked!gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952840544630534206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-73928710796234022912012-09-06T11:21:38.171-04:002012-09-06T11:21:38.171-04:00All you can do is provide the encouragement and ke...All you can do is provide the encouragement and keep doing what you're doing.VandyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874470026207258769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-49185882586126817302012-09-06T03:53:40.693-04:002012-09-06T03:53:40.693-04:00Seriously IRL we would be best friends!

Aiden has discovered Frog and Toad and Matt and I were excited bc we loved those books as children. I have to say you can never read too early to your child. I started when aiden was in my womb. He has just started kindergarten and when I told the teacher he is reading Frog and toad to us she gasped bc it's a 2 nd grade book. Keep it up you guys are doing great!
