Our family does have a few good habits that seem to work well for us.
1. Reading aloud at bedtime. We usually read a Sonlight read-aloud, but we have also read other books because we finish the books pretty quickly.
2. Books on CD. I have Story of the World on CD that we listen to while we're in the car. I also pick up other books that we listen to. The kids are on an "Artemis Fowl" kick right now, but I also come up with other books that we have enjoyed.
3. Quiet reading time. I came up with this to help Wild Man with his reading since Ga'Hoole Girl reads constantly, but I find that we all really enjoy this 20-30 minutes of the day.
Enjoy!
I didn't even realize SOTW had a CD! I will have to look for this. Thanks for the great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI've always meant to--and sporadically have--include that quiet personal reading time! I'm going to have to remember that for next year...

Wow, I would love to get SOTW on cd. I'll have to look for it. And yes, a quiet time is definitely important. Mine don't necessarily have to read, but it is more about saving my sanity!
ReplyDeleteYay! Reading! You could not have a better habit!
ReplyDeleteI had previously only has quiet reading at bedtime - - but, I think I may add 15 or 20 monutes to our daily "schedule."
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas!
