Oh, How I Love to read to my granddaughters
And...
They Love to be read to
They Love books
I start with books that are tactile
Raised pictures, fuzzy, rough, smooth, gritty
Anything on a board book
That you can use to talk about while reading
Anything on a board book
That you can use to talk about while reading
I graduate to short stories
And also poems, rhymes and riddles
And also poems, rhymes and riddles
By 7 my K-Bug was reading Nancy Drew
And long chapter books
And long chapter books
A favorite place to purchase books

It's so nice to instill that love of books and reading early on. I even read to my kiddos when they were young preteens -- Tom Sawyer and Anne Frank are the ones I especially remember.
