We homeschool because we believe "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." (Hodding Carter, Jr.) In order to help our children establish roots and spread their wings, we believe in...strength in family relationships...an intimate relationship with God...being socially active...networking within the community to make our town a better place...excellence in academics and life skills...and that we are never too old to yearn for knowledge.

We began reading to our kids from the time they were little. Start with vinyl and/or cardboard books (infants love chewing on things) and work your way up to the classics from there.
Make weekly trips to your library. Check to see if they have reading programs available (if they don't already have one for your child's age group, volunteer to lead one!).
Right now, at ages 5 & 3, some of the favorites are:
Pinkalicious books
Walt Disney movie books
Seven Little Monsters books
Curious George books
anything about animals
children's cookbooks
