Read Together Challenge

Posted in Blogging

The Read Together challenge has started over at Snapshot. Jennifer has challenged us to read a book with our children. “Select a book together. Read it together (out loud or independently). Discuss it (chapter by chapter or all at once at the end).” Munchkin and I will be reading American Girl Josefina series. She’s completed the first 3 books in the series, so I need to get started to catch up. We’ll be discussing the books once we’ve both read them. She’s having fun telling me about the books as she’s reading them. I look forward to discussing these books…

Spring Reading Thing 2007: Wrap Up

Posted in Blogging

It’s hard to believe, but the Spring Reading Thing 2007 has come to a close. I was trying to think about what book I enjoyed the most this spring. I would have to say that I really enjoyed the Excellent Wife. Now, I’ve read this book before several years ago, but I wanted to re-read it. My new author is Elizabeth George (Christian book author). I thoroughly enjoyed her books, and will continue to read the rest of her books as time allows. We ended up not making it through the Narnia series. We took a break and will start…

Spring Reading Thing 2007

Posted in Blogging

We’ve been challenged, once again, to get reading. This time we’re being held accountable by having to post our list of reading books. This “contest” will run from March 21, 2007 through June 21, 2007. Since we’ll be reading together as a family and individually, I will post my reading list and then the family’s reading list. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get them all done. I’ll try to update throughout the time period and post reviews as we finish different books. My reading list: 1. Humor for a friend’s heart 2. The Power of a Praying Parent 3. The…

Read to Me: Results

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

The Read to Me has come to a close. We were asked to summarize our results in a post. We accomplished out goal of getting back on track with reading. This mission/contest helped motivate us to get started with our reading again. It’s so easy to allow life to get in the way of reading and let the t.v. take control. We need to make time for reading and family. It’s fun to sit down and read together as a family. Kids love being read to even when they know how to read themselves. It can be a special time…

Read to Me Update #1

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Well, we started off on the right foot, and then life caught up to us. Too much going on…. So this week, I’m trying to recommit to our original schedule of reading. I had planned on continuing with the Narnia series, but I forgot to bring it with us this week. So, we’ll just be reading something else. We’re still doing ok with the individual reading, but we haven’t been reading every day. I want to make that a priority for us. So that’s how we’re doing right now. I’d love to hear how you are doing if you’re participating…
