We started chapter books...Thanks for sharing this. We started chapter books out of desperation for me. I really struggle with reading the same pictures books over and over and over. I hoped that I'd be better at reading to the kids if we tried a chapter book. We had Mr. Popper's Penguins handed down to us and saved for later, but I wondered if they'd get it... so I tried. They didn't get the whole story (at 3 1/2 and 2 1/4) but it was good practice of sitting and listening. When that was done we got Charlotte's Web from the library. They both seemed to enjoy that one. Still, they don't get everything, but every once and a while Tornado (3) would say something that told me he was getting more than I thought. <br /><br />Another book we had tucked away for later is <i>Gladys Aylward</i>. There are a couple little parts I edited for content as we read, but they have been really enjoying it. We talk about the book like it's Gladys herself. "Where's Gladys?" "Should we ready Gladys?" "Go grab Gladys." She was lost for a couple days (buried under far to much laundry) and it was quite an issue, even to my 2 year old. I didn't know if the missionary journey would be too "old" for them, but they are interested in it and I'm stopping to discuss things as I see fit. We took some time the other day to listen to phrases in Russian (from beginning of book) and will do the same in Chinese now that we've gotten that far. They thought it was great!<br /><br />Anyway... thanks again for more suggestions! I've been wondering what else to read!~Babychaser~https://www.blogger.com/profile/12789794457673145109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-45164861798814717312010-10-05T00:33:10.432-04:002010-10-05T00:33:10.432-04:00What a wonderful list.

You are absolutely no exception...<br /><br />There are so many on this list that I haven't read- I'm so excited! <i>The Cobblestreet Cousins</i> series and <i>The Mouse of Amherst</i> are two that look particularly wonderful to me... I'm trotting off to the library website right now to see if I can place a hold!<br /><br />Love to you, you wonderful, brilliant mama! xoElise @A Path Made Straighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457659796611169345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-74657858248703561752010-10-03T23:59:43.019-04:002010-10-03T23:59:43.019-04:00What a great list!
