I haven't had more time as I still have my youngest at home and I am back to sitting and reading school books sent home and the obligatory homework.
My 4 year old started primary school a couple of weeks ago and just last week she was sent home with her first book.
And what I loved was that it was a picture book, no words at all.
This allows for kids to create their own stories, letting their imaginations really run wild.
It encourages them to focus on the story rather than just the words on the page.
I think it is a great way to introduce children to books.
This leads nicely to my favourite post that was linked up last week, this was from My Book Corner, with a post explaining the process that goes into making a picture book.
Onto the link up.

ReplyDelete(the teetering pile of "to read" books by my door is less enthusiastic since after reading this I usually add to it)

DeleteThank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteMy youngest loves bringing books home from school....She's really coming on with her reading :) x
aaa that's great to hear, reading is so important!! x
DeleteI love that your daughter received a picture book like that-sounds like a fantastic teacher. I totally agree too-reading is so much of an experience and not just the sounding out of words (although I realise this is important).
ReplyDeleteI think it is nice not to have any pressure put on them, reading should be a relaxed experience :) x
DeleteMy contribution this week is Shhh! Little Mouse by Pamela Allen. It is a really lovely book for littlies but I don't think I've done it justice - please have a look.
ReplyDeleteoff to look now, thanks for linking up x
