So JJ's class has started a program called snuggle up and read. Every day they bring home a simple book to read to an adult in the house, the adult records the title and what words they struggled with. He can read it to any adult as many times as he wants and you record it every time.
So JJ came home with a prize yesterday for hitting the 15 book mark (he already hit 5 and 10 ) I asked who else is on the star for 15 books, he said he is the only one in the class on any star...
NO other parent had time to read a 5 page story with 10 words in it before bed or after school?? now JJ does get ahead since he has me, DH and my brother that lives here to read to but really in 2 weeks no other kid hit 5 books even??
Boggles my mind
Heck he drives me nuts constantly wanting to read to me and we had to get him a library card on the weekend but man... read to your kids people, its the best way for them to learn!!
ok getting of my soapbox now, JJ wants to read ;)

I totally agree with you! My SIL is a 3rd grade teacher and I am amazed and saddened by the lack of Parenting I see. Good Golly like you said, who does not have the time for a little reading!! Yes we are all busy, yes we all need more down time. But this is our kids we are talking about here!! Oh my, guess this pushed a button or two for me! :) I think JJ needs to come read with me so I get down off my soapbox!
