When was the last time you sat down to read for the pure fun of it?
I don't mean to read this blog😉 or the school newsletter or the manual for the new fridge.
One of the best things you can do is model the joy of reading. I understand you are busy. There are many things to accomplish in a day. But consider making the time to sit down and open up a good book. This is the best thing you can do for your child. Honest. Let your children see the process of you enjoying a story. It doesn't require any money since our public library is free in Calgary and you can sit side by side with your child. On the couch. With a hot chocolate. Maybe a potato chip or two. The CPL book truck was here today and we went out to have a tour through it. They had many great titles on board. Get a public library card and send it to school every other Tuesday and then read. My daughter and I have a date for over the holidays at our new downtown library. We plan on spending the afternoon checking it out once the crowds have died down a bit and I can't wait. Lots of great books and time with my child. Win. Win.

Children who did not complete their homework last night spent their recess with me this morning.
