Homeschool - Reading to Siblings

 It is so important to schedule reading time in the homeschool day! 

Whether it is individual reading or storytime with mom/dad, this is a crucial building block in the life of your child.

We have planned this year for the older children to have reading time with the younger.

This has already been a success the first few days we have tried it!

Grace (dd9) reads to Nathanael (ds4), and William (ds7) reads to Abigail (dd2). 

The books that Abigail wants read are easy for William. 

Nathanael needs to be held captive with longer books, so that is when Grace steps in. 

This gives all the children a chance to bond, and practice reading with flair to their younger siblings.

I hope you will incorporate sibling reading time into your day - it works wonders!
