In my search for home schooling materials I've come across something that I truly thought was awesome!
We've done it before with other books, but this time around we're reading classics.
Out loud.
We took a trip to our local library the other day, it turned out to not be so great so we decided to head over to the library on base. It was MUCH better! And it was there that we found the books we were looking for.
The Diary of Anne Frank.
The Swiss Family Robinson.
Treasured Island.

Alyssa wanted to start with Treasured Island. So that's what we did last Sunday. We sat down and started reading. There were a lot of smiles of course because one of the most favorite Carney movie is Muppet Treasure Island {so there are a lot of references of course}!! We read many chapters and she begged to read more but we held off until later or another day.
What a wonderful way for us to connect and learn about good classics like these!
Reading out loud is a great way for family time or family connections too! We've done this with several books before too.
Do you and your family read out loud, how did it go?

We do, too and LOOOOVE it!!! I think our faves as a family were the C.S. Lewis "Chronicles of Narnia", especially "The Nephew's Magician". Just typing it makes me want to go back and read it again! You all are embarking on a fabulous journey together!!!
oops. I meant "The Magician's Nephew". Crazy getting the title of a favorite book wrong ;-)
My dad used to read to me and my brother growing up - I loved it. I plan to continue the tradition with my own kids. Chris and I don't read out loud to each other, except for scriptures, but maybe we'll give it a whirl :)
We've been reading the Narnia books lately. Always fun. It's a good thing!
