National Reading month

March is national reading month. Faith's teacher has encouraged each child to read for 20 minutes on their own every day at home. To tell you the truth, this is very hard for us. Faith and I would much rather cuddle up together and read something a little more fancy than a level 3 reader. However, I am trying to do my part as a mom to encourage her. We are going to do three days of reading Fri, Sat, and Sun and then choose two days during the week to total five days a week. Faith still continues to succeed at reading. It is like she was born to read. I find her coming home with Junie B. Jones books. She often tells me she read 9 or 10 pages at school that day. Thursday she came home and decided it would be funny to read to the fish. What better story to read to the fish than Dr. Seuss's One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish. Although the story was read only for the pure enjoyment of photography, it was all her idea.
