Bringing Up Avid Readers

You gotta love Sonlight curriculum. It's so rich with great literature that my kids have really become engrossed in reading, even when it's not required! We have just finished two reading programs which sort of overlapped each other. One was sponsored by Six Flags and Discovery Education, and the other was sponsored by Noah's Ark Water Park. Of course, they were both eager to earn the Six Flags and Noah's Ark tickets, but with the great books we have to choose from, they were actually eager to do the reading regardless of the rewards. Here's a pic of our son at 7:30 on a Saturday morning. I saw his light on under his door, and discovered him reading Little Pear, a Sonlight book. What a great feeling to see your kids doing this instead of plopped in front of the TV watching Saturday morning cartoons!
