Read!Read!
Read! Capture your children’s minds with exceptional literature
One of the most attractive as- pects of homeschooling is the ability to spend time together eading. Whether it’s reading
the Bible together in the living room after
dinner or tackling a major work of literature, such as Little Women or The Lord of
the Rings trilogy, memories of reading exceptional books together will be cherished.
Your children will quickly grow to love this
family time with everyone involved in active listening as you explore new worlds,
learn about great moments of the past, and
share the hopes, dreams, and struggles of
others who have gone before us.
. . . Reading with the
whole family builds
bonds that will last a
lifetime.
A father who reads with his family is
giving them a priceless gift. Children
learn from example and will enjoy hav-
ing a special time with their father, espe-
cially if he is away from home during the
day and unable to participate in the daily
routine. Before he was diagnosed with
brain cancer three years ago, my husband
would come home from work and lead
everyone in a Bible study and continue
on with the book we were reading. Today
we are thankful that he is able to sit with
us during this time and pray with us. No
matter what your situation, reading with
the whole family builds bonds that will
last a lifetime.
