Box Top for Education

I am the Box Top for Education coordinator for our homeschool coop. I recruited the boys to help me sort, count and bag the Box Tops.

The Mouse and The Motorcycle

This week Jaedan finished reading "The Mouse and The Motorcycle" by Beverly Cleary. He really enjoyed reading this book. We also found the movie on YouTube which he really enjoyed watching. He said that it was just like the book. Our local library is having a book discussion for this book in December which he will attend.

Older Beginner Reader

 

Finding the right books for an older beginner reader can be challenging. You want to provide them with choices that are not to juvenile but yet simple enough for them to read. After many visits to our local library I finally found the perfect ready to read series for my son. The series is called "Henry and Mudge". What I like about this series is it offers complex stories with varied sentence structure with the bonus of pictures. I was also able to find book discussion questions to go along with each book.

 

If you have a struggling or late reader don't be discouraged. Remember every child is different. Our journey to read has been tough at times. But seeing my child finally identifying words makes it all worth it.
