Our children would rather read than eat!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is your family like ours was? “NO reading at the table!” ( during family meals) :)

1. We read at least one chapter of the Bible. Everyone down to the youngest reads something. We often have Chinese eating with us, so sometimes we have bilingual reading.
2. Besides that chapter, each of us either read or quote at least one verse in Chinese.
3. If any of the children have read a verse during the day that particularly blesses them, they also read that and tell how the Lord blessed them with that verse.
4. DIG IN!

Right. other than our Bible reading, NO books at the table.

My older son was reading my graduate school textbooks when he was in the 2nd grade. His reading style is unique, but he gets the information.

My biggest resentment was that the biggest roadblock to my sons' acquiring an education is MY GOVERNMENT. Even homeschooling, they try to poke their nose in and derail progress.
