Reading is a big part of my life and I want it to always be a big part of my childminders lives. Before the school year was over I spoke with a few mom's and planted the idea to put together a book club. I'm excited to share that the First Book Club "Party" will be held on July 7th. Each kid is reading the book, The Marsh mellow Incident by Judi Barrett with their mothers. We are heading over the afternoon of the "party" and will have snack (marshmallow themed of course) and then we will discuss the book and head for the yard for some water games. How simple of an idea is this; it is a win-win idea. The kids love to see their old classmates and friends and the parents are introducing a fun way to keep their little ones into reading. It is okay to read a book to your child that is above their level...I'm not talking about reading Moby Dick to a five year old but reading above their level is only going to help them grow!
So, after we read the book and enjoy the book club party I will update you on the details and share the crafts, food, and games we enjoyed!
What do you do to keep your little ones reading over the summer?
