Learning New Words and Loving it

Quick post today. Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind is a fantastic fun book that is helping us "Tune in" to new words without even knowing it is work. The excitement that was shown by every student as they found a new word in the dictionary that were heard in the story was great to see. Reading to the kids is one of my favorite things to do. They ask to read a book everyday and when we cant fit it in they sit with absolute attention waiting for the next word. I read that for children to really learn to enjoy reading they need to see the adults enjoying reading, laughing at the funny parts, reading with enthusiasm. I came across this quote and thought it applied well to todays thoughts.

Cheers,
