I can’t believe we are almost halfway through April already and that Easter has come and gone! It also means the Read Together 2009 challenge is halfway through, so I wanted to post an update on how things are going with my efforts.
My goals included several things I wanted to do to increase my reading time with Michael this month:
- Take him to the library once a week to pick out new books together, and then read the books to him during the week.
- Spend some time reading to him at least three mornings per week.
- Start reading the Little House books to him at bedtime. (I’ve always dreamed of sharing these stories with my child when I had one, and I think he would really enjoy them now.)
So, how am I doing?
Well, we didn’t make it to the library and we didn’t really do any morning reading, I am ashamed to admit. BUT… I did get the Little House books down from the attic and have started reading those with him at bedtime.
I remembered that I had a whole bunch of the picture books they put out a few years ago, so we are starting with those. He LOVES them! I am hoping that by the time we get through some of the shorter stories, he will be ready to listen to the actual books.
I am going to try again this week to get to the library and do some additional reading with him during the day.
In the meantime, I’m working on writing down my thoughts about the books I have read so far for the other book-related challenge I am doing, Spring Reading Thing 2009, and I will post those a bit later on.
