I have been blessed with two children
who thoroughly enjoy reading – the other two tolerate it at best. If the subject is one that they are
interested in, of course that gives them more incentive.
I’ve been reading to Jenna since
before she was born. I’ve taken pictures
of her with various others as they have read to Jenna at various ages. And now she is reading on her own. And she usually does go after very
educational reading – and often times older than her geared age group.
When my daughter-in-law was still
pregnant with my granddaughter, Roland and I had gone to the library. As it happened, they were having a sale on
used books. Ten cents a book. What a wonderful deal!
Roland picked out one to send to
Rochelle and Tony – who still hadn’t picked out a name for our baby. Funny how most every item I’ve sent to my
boys throughout the years has cost way more in postage than the item(s) that
the package contains.
There were a few books that I
purchased for Jenna. One was almost text
book style about animals. I figured the
two of us would study them together when she got a little older and wouldn’t be
so bored by all the wording. Currently
she is reading it to herself. She has
also read many of the stories in the “Friend” magazines. And the more she reads, the more she wants to
read some more. I think that is so
cool. So wish that Tony had had the same
enthusiasm.
Jenna likes to learn. She enjoys making new discoveries. This morning she told me about almost every
animal that she read about – and is currently reading. It’s really great to
smuggle in learning through books!
