day 117 - reading aloud

If you're reading this, you probably know that reading books to children is one of my life's passions.

We have been reading to M and G since the day they were born. This is the bookshelf in their room, what you don't see is the basket full of books at the foot of their bed. We love books!

I've had the opportunity to start a new volunteer effort at the public school that M and G attend.

The focus? reading aloud to kindergarten and pre-k students

The purpose? to share a love and passion for reading with students who may not be read to at home
