Top Tips On Getting Your Child To Read

by

My children read. A LOT. And I’m really thrilled that they do. On our recent trip overseas, a family friend commented on how impressed she was to see all three children head deep in their books. Till she mentioned it, I didn’t realise how lucky I really am. In fact, I am very product that all 3 children read much above their age level. I think that the children just grew into love for reading. Both my husband and I read a wide variety of books and we’re always reading. I always had a love for books. I think it …

Get Ready for School with Reading Eggs

by

Reading expands your knowledge like nothing else. In my opinion. That’s why I can’t emphasise enough the necessity for children to read. Anything and everything. Suitable for their age group of course. It is quite hard when one starts off with teaching a child to read. Phonetics have come a long way since I learnt to read and everything is easier now to combine sounds. My little one enjoys reading at school and learning her phonetics. In fact, all the children are reading well above their age. What I found really useful was Reading Eggs especially in preparation for school. …

Dr Seuss Books Review

by

Dr Seuss famous for his hilarious rhymes that are sometimes deceptively nonsensical but actually teach children rhyming patterns that are easy for them to read. If you’ve read any of his books, you’ll sometimes wonder where the book starts and where it ends but one thing is sure, he is a genius when it comes to entertaining children and his books leave the children in fits of giggles and laughter and also with a great many questions. We were sent two books – The Cat in the Hat (an old favourite) and – One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue …

Imaginary Fred – Book Review

by

I remember my children having an imaginary friend. Ethan had a cowboy called Palmer who had a horse called Kudashai!! Wonder where he got that from! We were sent the book Imaginary Fred by Eoin Colfer and we loved it. What they say – Sometimes, with a little electricity, or luck, or even magic, an imaginary friend might appear when you need one. An imaginary friend like Fred… Fred floated like a feather in the wind until a lonely little boy wished for him and found a friendship like no other. The perfect chemistry between Eoin Colfer’s text and Oliver …

My Reading Journey

World Book Night is on the 23rd of April and this year there is a list of great books from different genres.

My love for reading is attributed to my parents who …

Why I have renewed my promise to read my children a bedtime story…

by

In my rushing around to complete household chores at night and trying hard to get back to my computer to blog –  I realise I have been missing out on something very important  – reading them a bedtime story. I do read to them especially when it is a new book that has been delivered to the house but I have to admit I have not been doing the bedtime bit. I tuck them up but no story. It always seems so rushed. Today since we were sent a new book to review, I decided to keep it for bedtime. …
