Stop, Drop and READ!!!

  Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you didn't know how to read?   Many adults do not read for enjoyment, but reading is a part of our every day life. 
     As a child I remember asking my 3rd grade teacher why I needed to know how to "do math"....as I got older and math got harder, I still asked "why do I need to know how to do Geometry?"  I'm not sure how I use geometry in my daily life now, but I'm sure I use it somehow, in some way.  However, never once have I asked "why do I need to know how to read?" or "Why do I need to have to think about what I read when I read?" I just do. 
    From the time I was a small child my mom always read to me, and I watched my mom and dad read on a daily basis, whether it was their Bible study, a book for enjoyment, a cookbook, or a book to my brother or I.  Literacy was instilled in me from the time I was old enough to know what a book was.  I even remember wanting to sit on my training potty and read my Snoopy book, reading has just been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
    We live in a BUSY world, do you take the time to just read?  Whether for your own enjoyment or to your child?  20 minutes a day with your child and a book will make a HUGE difference in their view of literacy.  Books bring a new world to life, I challenge you to spend 20 minutes a day with your child and a book...no stress, just encouraging them to enjoy the time with you!  If they are a beginning reader, turn it into a game, hunt for sight words, don't watch the clock, don't practice fluency, just enjoy the 20 minutes together, getting lost in a book, or two!
