What We Are Reading

In an attempt to take reading back to the reading style that Selena seemed to enjoy so much when she was younger, which encouraged so much more reading together time and some wonderful times. We are spending more time in the books we have and with fewer books at a time.

We continued to visit the books from last week, and I might even keep some of them for another couple of weeks. We did add these two books to our reading.

The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper. This book really needs no narration, since it is such a wonderful book that has been around for so long. This one has the train carrying toys for boys and girls, but with the same theme as all the The Little Engine That Could, was one that Selena truly enjoyed. She is so into trains now, and is working so hard at her learning, that she was easily attracted to this book, and ran around several times pretending she was the train repeating “I think I can, I think I can! I know I can!”

Sleeping Cutie by Adrea Davis Pinkney, was another big hit with Selena. It is a story about a sweet little girl, who is really good throughout the day, but come night time, she just couldn’t settle in to go to bed. Through all the fits, screaming and tears her parents find a special owl that is suppose to help children go to sleep. Now Selena wants an owl just like in the book, of course! It was a very cute book with great illustrations.
