When interested in sharpening your skills, nonfiction books may catch your eye.

Out of Your League by Dave Meggysey.

Gifts Bestowed Upon Loved Ones

 When you love story time, just
choosing one 
book is rather...a challenge!

Reading aloud to children is known to be an essential 
activity for enabling them to gain knowledge & skills
necessary for independent reading success.  
 
"When I was a little girl, my father read
Love You Forever to me...it was delightful.
Now I'm reading it to my girls."
                                                                ~Mrs. Wells

It's Family Reading Night!

 

The distributive property of multiplication, not alluring.


            Helping write a scarecrow story, more interesting.


                  But listening to someone read you a story?
