But if I find something I like, like a poster or something on the internet, I just integrate that into what we are doing. I have a huge poster of the food pyramid stapled to my kitchen wall and a cleanliness/hygiene poster in the bathroom, at 3-6 year old eye level. So I use the lifepacs as a sort of guide to what I need to be expounding on.
Besides that, we do a monumental amount of reading. We are involved in 2 summer reading programs. Reading is the key, my friend...as I'm sure you know. Reading is the key.
Yes it is. I love reading and books, my wife doesn't (although she is getting MUCH better, she just finished FoTR the other day), I have always been afraid that my children would grow up not liking books. I think I worried for nothing. My daughter and oldest son both like to read. I bought a book by G.A. Henty (no pictures, well there are illustrations scattered throughout the book, but it essentially has no pictures) for Josh, who is seven, thinking that I would read it to him. However, I came home from work one night and he was reading it all on his own, and understanding the story (it is a story of Wallace and Robert the Bruce).
Kind of makes a pappy happy. ;^)
