I met Jim Trelease after going to one of his lectures, which was fabulous, just like his books! The more kids I have, the less I read with them--how do I get back to reading more to them?
ReplyDeleteI heard him lecture too, it was so good!!! How do you read more to the kids? It's hard to find the time. Maybe you could start the bedtime routine a little earlier, so you could read at night, or read during or after dinner. How about on Sundays or on a road trip?
ReplyDeleteIt counts as reading to your kids even if it's on a once a week basis, not a nightly basis. Or on a trip basis.
