Book List

August 12, 2007 by Tsoniki 4 Comments

School is starting in just over a week! Alice is getting excited because we are going to do a reading group/get together with the neighbors. I was so disappointed when I found out the library reading program stops at five years old – I knew we couldn’t go. Sure Jake would fit right in, but that leaves Alice out. It wouldn’t be a big deal except there isn’t a program for older kids.

I brought up the idea of a reading group with the neighbor not too long ago and she agreed it would be fun. We haven’t figured out a structure yet and I’m thinking getting the kids together a few times a week will be good. My neighbor also mentioned she was going to have her daughter watching PBS for an hour a day (I can’t remember which program) and I’m going to suggest having the daughter come over here to watch and then Alice going over there – have them watch the show then talk about it afterward. That will keep them occupied for an hour giving me time to clean up or just hang out with Jake.

And along with reading – have you seen the list of 100 top Children’s Books posted at the NEA website? The list was compiled in an online survey and looks great. I’m debating how to use it – read it in a year, pick a section to work with for a few months, etc. I’ve read the majority of the books so I’m thinking it would be easy for us to dive right in.

    The reading group sounds great! I always try to get Becca to think about what was read to her, but talking about it with a peer would have more of an impact.

    Bummer about the library!

    Good luck with your reading group! I can’t wait to do that when Sophie gets old enough and we start doing more homeschool stuff (she’s two). You should show your daughter parts of the list and have her pick books that look interesting to her from a small selection. That way she won’t get overwhelmed with 100 choices but will still have some input.
