Re: A comprehensive literature list for k-3rd
How do others implement books such as these? My kids have no interest in anything outside of picture books, and I don't know how to help them enjoy nonpicture books. Any ideas?

Re: A comprehensive literature list for k-3rd
I dunno, mine will listen to anything I read for as long as I will keep going but they might just be weird that way.
Right now I read several picture books a day and our current read aloud is the lion, the witch and the wardrobe and usbourne's classics for boys. I read several chapters a day. ---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ---------- Oh others they loved were, dr. Dolittle books, paddington bear, blue fairy book, wind in the willows and mr poppers penguins. I think I'm going to do something by kipling next. |
