A BOOK FOR ANY MOMENT | In our house, reading isn’t just a bedtime thing, it happens all day! Reading is so much more than just an activity. It serves all kinds of purposes that ultimately helps our girls with their emerging reading skills.
- Eleanor (3) reaches for books whenever she’s feeling overwhelmed. It’s our favorite calm-down strategy.
- Claire (23 months) is all about learning new words, and books make it fun! We’ll pause during reading, and she fills in words she knows. She loves “reading” to us!
- We also use books to introduce new experiences, like visiting the dentist or, recently, learning about trick-or-treating. They really help bring new adventures to life!
- After a long, busy day, we’ll often read together at the dinner table to unwind.
- Books make long car rides much more manageable. We never leave home without a few in our bag!
Books are such a versatile part of our day. Whether we’re reading a story for the 100th time or discovering something new, books have this amazing ability to spark curiosity, calm us down, and bring us together. We love to Read and Discuss Stories all day long!
