It’s taken us a while to get here – from “But I don’t wanna read!” to “Oooh, can we read now?!”. I remember before you, I didn’t like reading time. “Mama K, did you know you’re the reason I love to read?

Plus, we have special family reading time each night that she looks forward to as much as any evening out! We’re currently reading The Boxcar Children series – anyone else love those books? Instilling a Love of Reading When my stepdaughter K has been good all week and doesn’t get in trouble at home or school, she gets a new book! She receives books as gifts from her parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, and friends. In our house, we use books as rewards, gifts, and entertainment. It’s Reading & Writing Wednesday, and today we’re sharing the best children’s books for every occasion! To help you encourage a love of reading in your children. Hi, Mama!! I’ve been (im)patiently waiting all week for you!
