So, I realize that this is like my 100th post of Aidyn reading...but I just can't resist. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a reading teacher, because I love reading children's picture books, or because of all the information I've read lately about children reading at an early age.
In case you didn't know, I started back to school in August to work on my Master's Degree. My degree is focused on "Teaching Reading" and being a "Reading Specialist". In our last 2 semesters, we've read lots of materials on the impact that books have on children. Just the access and "experience" of books as a young child is a HUGE indicator of a child's success as a reader and student.
Because Aidyn LOVES his books, I'm constantly buying board books (made of thick cardboard) anytime I see them. It really is an addiction I think, haha.
But just like tonight, when he plays at his bookshelf, grabs a book and comes running to me, climbs on my lap and plops down with his book...my heart melts and I just HAVE to read it to him. Tonight we read The Foot Book 3 times, Sesame Street Firehouse 2 times, and Look, Look! several times. Each time he'd throw the book to the side, return to his bookshelf for another book, and come walking back grinning from ear to ear "talking" about his new book.
