They play Legos, dress ups, pirates and vikings. We go to the sprinkler park, swimming lessons, the gym and have play dates with friends.
They are allowed a couple of hours of "screen time" a day.
But in those quiet moments when everyone is tired from a day full of playing, they read.
Seth has always loved reading, and he is good at it. He is a full year ahead in reading in school. He
Amelia isn't reading yet, but she is starting to figure out words by sounding them out. She loves to be read to and is a big fan of Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious and Ramona Quimby.
And of course there is Liberty. She will sit and listen to books for hours. She always has been like that.
I am lucky my kids have such voracious appetites for books. But then again, so do I.
This summer we are reading anything we can get our hands on. This includes, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, How to Train Your Dragon (books 1-8), Ramona the Pest, Jellybeans (a picture book), Pinkalicious, any Lego book we can find, and whatever else the kids decide they love at the moment.
What are your kids reading this summer? We are always wanting to add to our reading library and could use some ideas.
