Friday Fun: Adventures in "Reading"!

I absolutely love it that Anna has gotten to the stage where she will attempt to "read" books to me at bedtime, or "read" them together. The other night, as I was getting ready for bed, I found Anna already relaxing and waiting for me (shocking!) and reading to herself.

Our recent guest post about family literacy got me thinking about reading routines.  We parents often find ourselves in "reading ruts," given that our kids settle on a favorite book or two and want to hear them over and over (and over and over and over.....) again. This certainly is normal and I enjoy reading Anna her favorite books.  The best part is her "reading" along because she knows the stories so well.
