Reading to My Kids

Phoebe and Reuben love books. Going to the library has become part of our fortnightly activity. Sometimes, we'll go to the library without them because they are having their nap. But I always ensure that my house is filled with a fresh supply of books for them to read and flip. Reuben has caught the book-loving bug from Phoebe. Phoebe has already graduated from the Joy Readers. She could read Level A-D of the Joy Readers. Reuben is the rightful heir to the books. Right now, Reuben's favourite book is still "Run, run, run" though he also likes 8 other titles from the Level A series. Every night before the children sleep, we will read some story books to them. Phoebe always ask for more. Two stories are usually not enough. She'll ask for four, or five or more, stories after stories. Right now, in addition to the usual library story books, we're also reading Children's Beginning Bible stories to her. She loves the Bible stories. We hope to build up her Biblical knowledge through reading the Bible stories to her. We're glad that both children love books. My daily prayer for them is that they will improve in their word recognition and that they will grow up into independent avid readers.
