It also includes discussion questions for each book, and tips for encouraging reading at home and school.<BR/><BR/>You can find it at www.theassetedge.net in the library section. If you like it, please share it with your friends and teachers!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your post!<BR/><BR/>ann at mommysecrets.blogspot.comAnn @TheAssetEdgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198438219767685976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1155797921013039552006-08-17T02:58:00.000-04:002006-08-17T02:58:00.000-04:00hi, I just found this link - Discovering the Writt...hi, I just found this link - Discovering the Written Word at<BR/><BR/>http://www.pbs.org/parents/readinglanguage/kindergartner/main.html.

The sound, the rhyme, so we got into that pretty early. Scripture reading is also fantastic. Kids who read the scriptures with their parents will have higher reading scores. Vocabulary and context are greatly enhanced. When my son was in 3rd grade we were homeschooling. One of his spelling words was vineyard. His sentence for the week for that word was "Come, let us go down and labor in the vineyard". :~D.Shannon https://www.blogger.com/profile/09370820563208652761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1153410738755690952006-07-20T11:52:00.000-04:002006-07-20T11:52:00.000-04:00Thanks for the ideas, I'm trying them on my little...Thanks for the ideas, I'm trying them on my little guy ;).Mama Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05121847063760369799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1153407365406493202006-07-20T10:56:00.000-04:002006-07-20T10:56:00.000-04:00Reading to children when they are young makes them...Reading to children when they are young makes them good readers when they get older.

And great point about repitition - there were books that we read at least 100 times, but that was okay - he loved them and like you mentioned, they helped his language development, etc. One more tip I would add - for both younger and older kids - is to let your kids see you reading your own books, too. I think that adds to their understanding that reading is a lifelong pleasure.Katrina @ Callapidder Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06502432103160398620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1153400425961221782006-07-20T09:00:00.000-04:002006-07-20T09:00:00.000-04:00my favorite- and I buy it for everyone- is How Do ...my favorite- and I buy it for everyone- is How Do Dinosaurs say Goodnight? <BR/>great tips to share- thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1153399936800604372006-07-20T08:52:00.000-04:002006-07-20T08:52:00.000-04:00I think it's great when parents read with their ki...I think it's great when parents read with their kids.

Our daughter is 16 and before we adopted our son, I read the Harry Potter books out loud to the family and for the first two books I had a different voice for each character (before the movies came out) and after awhile it got hard to keep the voices straight, but it was fun and if I'd mess up one, my daughter would say, "That's not how Hagrid sounds."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my TT.Just Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206021708278976081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-1153393274936670292006-07-20T07:01:00.000-04:002006-07-20T07:01:00.000-04:00Brown Bear is the first book my son ever read.
