Then we were just piled up each reading our own book until we fell asleep. Wonderful memories and so happy to see your love of books has led you to this point in your life.<br /><br />You were amazing then, even more amazing now.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007677394000248439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33618630.post-25681787405903802082012-03-06T07:20:40.266-08:002012-03-06T07:20:40.266-08:00George/E.D. - It's great that your kids are al...George/E.D. - It's great that your kids are already taking after both of you :-) When I was a little girl, my mother and I would pile up on pillows and spend nights with popcorn and books. Those nights always meant so much to me!<br /><br />Eve - I think it's fantastic that you are sharing your time in the literacy program. I'll bet the kids really feed off of your passion for books. Great way to make a difference! :-)Ashley Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111538335871215137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33618630.post-36890252900928215252012-03-06T05:13:49.315-08:002012-03-06T05:13:49.315-08:00This idea is terrific!

My 4-year old is as hooked on books as I was at her age and we read stories every night (I was a lucky child - my grandparents had a library)E.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08362521696011839816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33618630.post-72263369705068410782012-03-05T15:47:51.020-08:002012-03-05T15:47:51.020-08:00Blogger is giving me a hard time today.

I'm just a volunteer but it's awesome. Today's book was called Green Beans and Other Silly Poems.

As you read www.wordofexcellence.wordpress.com (my blog), you'll see some stories that my son has told me, which I felt warranted publishing. He is an extraordinary reader...goes through some of the library books in a matter of a day or two, and of course that reading has allowed him to be literate in his speech (I help) as well as articulating what he wants to say in a story.<br />I seldom read to him as much as in earlier days, as he's all over the stories on his own now.George Akerleyhttp://www.wordofexcellence.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
