It will come as a surprise to literally no one that Eleanor and I have both done a pretty solid amount of reading when school closed in March due to COVID-19. School has started now, so our reading might slow a bit but it will never stop.
Each month I will share the chapter books we've read in that period. We've been reading chapter books since before Kindergarten and her attention span as a four year old was definitely something to brag about. Eleanor was born a reader and that makes my heart so, so happy.
Do the kiddos in your life have an interest in any of these?
Happy Reading,
Eleanor and Sarah
I hope Eleanor enjoyed them!
ReplyDeleteWe most definitely did! She is really in ghosts right now, but also books written in diary formats. I love how eclectic her tastes are in books!
DeleteI was too at her age. Haha!
DeleteShe definitely takes after me. I have never known such a young child to love non-fiction so much, but it is what she has been surrounded by her whole life.
DeleteThe Haunted Library looks pretty good... i used to love Hardy Boy books; i wonder if they're still popular?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure - Eleanor loves Nancy Drew and for her birthday this past July I got her the first ten in the series of the original Nancy Drew series. I know Nancy also got the update treatment and there is a series of her and Bess and George as kids. I am not sure if the same happened for the Hardy Boys, but I don't see why not. I loved those as a kid, along with Nancy.
DeleteThis is such a cute little feature!!
ReplyDeleteMy little girl (10 weeks) is also an Eleanor and I can't wait to start reading with her, such an important part of development and raising the next generation of bookworms <3
Lots of love to you and your Eleanor!

Thank you, Jade! it came about because I am a teacher and suddenly in March I had more time on my hands when schools closed and we tried to figure out how to serve our kids without being in person. It meant a lot more reading time for Eleanor and I, and I decided to keep this feature going even as we are slowly returning to school.
DeleteI started reading to Eleanor when she was still a fetus. I read Where the Wild Things Are to her twice daily, and more on the weekends. When my mom and I brought her home from the hospital I started reading it to her one day while my mom was holding her - and wouldn't you know, she turned her head in the direction of my voice and didn't take her eyes off me the whole time I read it. She knew it! Reading is so, so important, like you said, and I am so glad that at seven, mine is a ginormous bookdragon now.
I love that you have an Eleanor also - how did you decide on that name?
Happy reading, and lots of love, thanks for coming by!
