Our first wild summer reader is here! What could be better than having a good book (and a snack, and a CROWN!) along on your fishing trip? Happiness.
Wild Readers
Wild Winter Reading
One of our wild readers doing what wild readers do!
Cozy Fireplace Readers
Our first dynamic and expressive readers, Mrs. Fogg and Mr. Johnston, shared favorite picture books by the fireplace. We enjoyed every word.
Cozy Fireplace Invitation
Calling all expressive readers! During the stretch from Christmas to February break, we are concentrating on the genres of poetry and picture books, with the added frosting of polishing our fluency and expression in reading and public speaking. One aspect of our study is inviting great readers we know to share a treasured picture book with us around our cozy “fireplace.” Parents, grandparents, older siblings, . . . . are welcome! Just e-mail Miss Blessing with your availability.
Readers are Leaders
Today’s Breakpoint by Erik Metaxas was so encouraging that I wanted to share it with all of you.
What–and Why–to Read This Year
World’s 2017 Books of the Year
Christianity Today’s 2018 Book Awards
Serious Reading’s 30 Reasons to Read Books
So how are we adults doing on our own 40 Book Challenge? If you are reading something great, tell your child about it! These below zero days are the perfect time to curl up with a book.
Erik Metaxas concluded, “As we like to say here at BreakPoint, ‘Readers are leaders.’ So if you want to be a leader—in your home, at the office, in church, or in the larger society this year—you know what you need to do. Start the new year off right. Pour yourself a large cup of tea, grab a good book and start reading.”
