Literacy Tip TUESDAY...
Love this & probably the BIGGEST reason for becoming an Usborne Consultant. When I read with my daughters, at some point or another, I SMILE & feel that connection during that quiet time (even on those days where it's a 5 minute session).
I SMILE over:
*a thought that was shared
*hearing them breathe while enjoying a story
*seeing their minds' at work-making connections or processing
*observing their reactions
*seeing their little fingers point to something of interest
*a conversation they WANT to have about the book
*OR sometimes it's just the feel/comfort of them sitting in my lap (especially days when MOMMY needs so extra LOVE
).
The list goes on and on. But I find at least 5 minutes a day (or as often as possible) can go A LONG WAY;)
WHAT makes you SMILE when reading with your child???
