I have always loved books. Long before I could read, I was being read to. I still have some of those
precious picture books and the illustrations and stories in them will always take me back in time!
In my teens, I started working with young children in nursery schools and church programs. After finishing an early childhood degree, I became a kindergarten teacher with classes of my own. Oh did we have fun with books!
Reading aloud was our favorite time of day.
When my son was born, I doubled down on the reading! Just as my parents had read to me, I read to him from the beginning. We chose homeschooling and so began another season of reading to all kinds of groups in addition to reading to my own child. We definitely used literature across the entire
curriculum.
I want to share the wonderful stories and some of the activities we have used to extend those stories into adventures. Whether you are reading to your own children or to a classroom full, I hope you have as much fun as I have had!
