Making learning to read fun, purposeful and delicious
Making learning to read fun, purposeful and delicious
I thought that when my daughter was learning to read we would be snuggled up under a blanket and reading books would be easy. Being a primary teacher for 5 years and a reading tutor for 2 years, I knew what we needed to do. So it hit me hard when my daughter said reading levels books were boring and she avoided trying to read them.
Was I putting too much pressure on this? Was I worrying too much I was not doing enough? I want my children to be confident readers as it can open so many doors for their overall education.
I wanted it to be like when we would go into the kitchen and start making things together. Sure, there was flour that had missed the bowl and I had said for the hundredth time not to lick her fingers. But there was always progress (or at least something to eat at the end of it!)
