Family Literacy Day!!!

Good Day and Happy Family Literacy Day!!

Along with hand making accessories there is always more than enough time to stop and read a fantastic book with my two children.  We have many favourites we go back and read over and over again such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

 Another favourite we have is Winters Gift by Jane Monroe Donovan.  Which is about a farmer who's wife has passed away but gains new hope when he saves a mare during a snow storm and is blessed with a wonderful gift.

Who can not like Robert Munch.  A fantastic story writer as well as story teller.  His books are full of

fun, surprises and well just plain humour.  I still love his books and find them a joy to read.  My personal favourite is I Have to Go.  This book is all about a little boy who when asked if he has to go always says "NO" but as soon as they are in the car, has his snowsuit on or during dinner never guess who has to "GO". A very funny tale and I'm sure some of you parents can relate. :-)

We read a lot of books together but another way we read as a family is playing board games, magazines even reading the instructions when baking cookies.

So get out there and READ with your family today. Make it a daily activity you can all look forward to.  Please comment what books or other reading activities you like to enjoy with your family.  I'm always looking for NEW books or ideas.  This WAHM mama looks forward to this time of day to wind down and grab a great book with the kids.

Enjoy!
