Love of Language
O enthralled
O likes her books.
Since a small little thing, she could turn pages, enjoy pictures and loved listening to rhyme.
We are book collectors, so she is definitely surrounded by options. Oftentimes, I find her sitting by herself, enthralled.
I am not eager for her to learn to read. I love the fact that she has learned to enjoy books despite the fact that she cannot yet read them.
EXPAND ON BOOKS
Free Books at home! Recently we found a website that offers free books to read & give online.
"Read a book. Give a book." www.wegivebooks.org
O's favourite is the featured Skippyjon Jones collections!
Make-Your-Own Book. Using sites like Shutterfly www.shutterfly.com you can create your own book from family photos. Pinterest gave us the idea to create a Toddlers Alphabet Book.The formatting options available could lead to other theme books: Eye Spy, Colours, Numbers, Feelings etc.
