readingblog: reading to my kids

Reading is one of the main things I do. Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel I've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelieavably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.

Reading to the kids

I loved reading to my kids! Some of my favorites (way too many to list) are: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom,
Bob Books (teaching Ben to read), Runaway Ralph, Little House on the Prairie, The Hobbit, CS Lewis series, many of themost of the Caldecott and Newberry winning books. I always enjoyed ordering from the Scholastic book sales and those books got read over and over too.
