You will have to forgive me for not posting the last several days. Along with computer and camera issues, I guess I had lost interest. I am trying to settle back into reality and begin finding joy in the everyday things that used to humor me (like blogging). But, I find myself staring out the windows a lot. My body may be here in Connecticut, but my mind is often still on a beach in the Caribbean. I fear that the two may not reunite for much more than a few minutes at a time from now on... unless we go on another cruise so my mind and body have no desire to separate.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
