That’s why it’s a good idea to start reading to the child as early as possible. There is the possibility that kids may not understand what you are reading. However, they will surely enjoy reader's changing facial expressions, voice and the rhythm of the words as one reads aloud to them. Beside a funful activity, reading also helps in brain development, pick up language skills, Develops the child’s communication skills, increases concentration, improves the attention span and at the same time makes them more imaginative. Thanks for sharing such rich reading resources for parents and kids.Rum Tanhttps://smiletutor.sg/4-simple-ways-tutors-can-motivate-young-readers/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184042514430758440.post-84309885602351208672020-08-23T12:03:48.340-04:002020-08-23T12:03:48.340-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Monica Castellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04221392262369359777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184042514430758440.post-83690699665046752272020-05-16T11:03:56.224-04:002020-05-16T11:03:56.224-04:00THANK YOU.

Mine is in 4th grade and we had a crazy year so we did a bit of deschooling but are just getting back to more formal schooling. We are using Beast Academy for math and Build Your Library for history and reading. I haven't found a science program I like yet but I've got a couple of ideas. For now he's taking a class at our cover school and we are using Outschool a pretty good bit. All the options can be a bit overwhelming for me. Sounds like your month was so productive and I'm impressed by how many subjects you're covering!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184042514430758440.post-18892510150157830152019-11-20T21:29:55.716-05:002019-11-20T21:29:55.716-05:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book, Kat...Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book, Katie.

I was curious. And YES, I highly recommend watching one of the movies or mini-series of Pride and Prejudice. The one I read this summer had a wonderful Preface that discussed Austen's writing career and then discussed how the characters' imperfections are being showcased. I never had the opportunity to discuss this one in a university course, so I was glad to get a little bit of "look for this" before I even started. And I'm so glad to read your review of Never Have I Ever. I have this one on hold through Overdrive, but I'm #14 on the list -- it'll be a while. lol Thanks for all these shares, Katie!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184042514430758440.post-33834149010578207472019-08-11T10:29:03.822-04:002019-08-11T10:29:03.822-04:00I have The Unhoneymooners on my TBR so I'm gla...I have The Unhoneymooners on my TBR so I'm glad you enjoyed it.
