As a young child and teenager, I rarely didn't have a book in my hands! Now I have such a terrible time reading...I, like my sister, fall asleep when I read. I started reading to my kids when they were infants--short bursts of words, because one of them would start to cry (twins), but as they got into their later months, they loved me to read to them, and by the time they were 18 months, it was all they wanted me to do. By the time they were 4 yrs. I was reading big kid books to them, and Ethan wanted to learn to read. I taught him, and before he was in kindergarten, was able to read to himself and comprehend books at a 2nd grade level. Lauren did not want to learn until the summer between kindergarten and first grade, and she taught herself. She would get up at 6 am and take a stack of Dr. Suess books down to the sofa (where we always read) and "read" to herself. By the time she was in first grade, she was reading the big kid books. Reading as youngsters has such an impact on kids--I have two brainiacs! By the way, Dr. Suess is my favorite author! Says a lot about me, right?!

I don't recognize all the books you listed- I guess kids books are a little different on different sides of the pond.

Love your gorgeous tag that you've included, it fits perfectly with the whole theme of reading and like you, as a teacher, understanding how important it is to read to our children.
