If we teach our children to love to read, most of the work is done!

The girls loved reading more stories together and we all learned some new things from the Bible together. I highly recommend the International Children's Bible interpretation for younger readers. The illustrated Bible that I bought for my 8 year old has the text in the ICB translation and she said she understands it better than the traditional KJV. We did much verse by verse comparison, and she loved that. Thanks again for hosting this challenge. I'm all for anything that has to do with books. I hope your week is going well,<BR/>KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421412026035354003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24945617.post-83525521886059928752007-03-22T08:55:00.000-04:002007-03-22T08:55:00.000-04:00From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

(there doesn't seem to be a comment option for that one).<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite writing books is <I>The Soul Tells a Story</I>. I am actually rereading it, which says something. I rarely reread anything! (In fact, I often give up on books the first time around if they don't totally pull me in.)L.L.

Wish we hadn't gotten sick. Reading out loud when I was stuffed and exploding just didn't make my day. BUT--we already have the next few books planned. I think we've made the reading habit at our house a little better. Pressing on...Joyful Dayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10605433538598120854noreply@blogger.com
