And leaders are readers!
My main goal this school year is to nurture a love for reading in my children. Although we read everyday as part of our routine school day I want them to enjoy it so much that they naturally pick up a book rather than a random iPad or other device. I want them to carry a book with them as often as they carry their device of choice…I want their imaginations to run wild and for the books that they read to come alive.
I come from a long line of book lovers. I don’t ever remember a time that. Y grandparents didn’t have a book nearby. My mom is the same way. Now, I’ve picked up that trait.
Today I stumbled across this list of childhood books. A few posts ago I spoke about older childhood books….this one is of stories that are from more recent years, or at least it seems that way since I remember when some were published. My goal is to read through this list (as much as possible and feasible) with my kiddos. Hope you do the same!
