As an #audiobook listener (about 50% of the books I read), I appreciate a psychologist backing up that yes, listening to a book is different from reading it in print in some ways, and no, it is not cheating and does indeed count as reading the book. 😊👍

Shannon_McKinney Interesting read! I as of late have started to listen to audiobooks. In the past I couldn‘t “get into them.” Lately I‘ve listened to quite a few and enjoyed them greatly. Mostly because of having such a busy schedule as a stay at home mom, and homeschooling my oldest! There is no “lunch break” for me, so an audiobook is easy to listen to while cleaning or laying in bed at night. 6y

Sitting in my car with my book for a bit longer today, since I came to the school early to see my oldest rewarded for meeting his reading goal for the first quarter. It's not a hard feat for my reader kid, but still proud of him.

Senoirs reading to Elementary students in my town! YESSSSSSSS. Big♡

AmyG That‘s awesome! 6y

Reecaspieces 👏👏👏😍 6y

Gina @AmyG @Reecaspieces I am a firm believer when we raise our kids in a "village" we raise the kind of people we want to leave the world to. (Putting soap box away now ?) 6y

Reecaspieces @Gina whole heartedly agree 6y

AmyG I agree. I will also say that it does so much for seniors to give back, socialize and be around children. 6y

Gina @AmyG Yes! There is a village in Sardinia where almost everyone lives to over a hundred. They say it's because they do not segregate the old from the young and that they often go to the older generation for wisdom. It is a model we should all follow in my opinion. 6y

The moment when your sister tells you that your favorite niece wants to join her school's book club. The teary emoji is symbolic of my overwhelming awe and pride in that little wonder I call my puddin pop. My family's back in VA and I miss them so much. #proudauntie #raisingreaders #kidlit #nieces

Apparently reading atop a basket is much more enjoyable than reading in typical places. In her defense, the basket is full of books so, maybe that's why she likes it so much ❤️

Bookzombie Cutie! 7y

I signed my niece up for a monthly subscription for books and her first box came! I'm pretty pleased with it for only $9.99 a month. The ages range categories from 2 to pre-teen. http://bit.ly/2sPu5ZG

tpixie Fun! One more year for my 1 yo grandson!! 8y

Smangela Love this! Saving it for the future.. :) and trying to think of what little ones I could give this as a gift for! 8y

Smangela Actually question - it says it come with something for mom? Is that correct or did I misread? 8y

Robothugs @Smangela I'm not really sure if the lotion was meant for a grown up. It seemed to me it might be. It isn't a kid-friendly scent... but my niece likes it so I gave it to her. This is the first time I got this for her, so I'll see next month and let you know! 8y

Smangela I actually have a friend's little one's 2nd birthday party next week! I'm thinking I just found what I'm getting her haha I'd imagine the older the kids get, the more likely it is they'll like the added item 😂 8y

Robothugs @Smangela true! She's 5 and has been into makeup and the like since she came out of the womb. 😜 This definitely would make a good present! 8y

As a third grade teacher I tell my students this all the time. Most of them think they don't like reading and it just kills me! Anyone else get frustrated explaining how great reading is to non-readers?

CoffeeK8 I do, I work with a variety of struggling readers and I feel so bad when they say they hate reading. 8y

Purrfectpages Which grade levels do you work with @coffeek8? 8y

CoffeeK8 @Purrfectpages k-12, I do targeted literacy support district wide in special education classes. Primarily 3-8. 8y

JillR I'm not a teacher but get very frustrated when other parents say their children don't like reading, as though that is something that can't be fixed... keep looking for the right books! Graphic novels always seem to work for my son when he thinks a book is too "difficult" for him, ditto comics x 8y

Purrfectpages @JillR sometimes the problem is the parents aren't readers themselves! 8y

When you're really determined to take your own books to the self-scan, but you picked so many you have to drag the bag. 😂

drokka Don't they say that readers are determined folk? 😉 8y

This is another post for #jennasfinalproject. My mom started to teach me to read when I three. By four, I was all set to go. That means I've been reading for 48 years. There's hardly a day that I'm not reading some type of book. @pocketmermaid

pocketmermaid It seems that moms have been coming up a lot in these posts. So many moms are responsible for getting their kids to read, mine included. 😀 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @pocketmermaid I think so! Although my sons all read with their kids too. 😎 (edited) 8y

Bibliogeekery Lovely! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Bibliogeekery Thanks! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @pocketmermaid I was thinking just now that my mom wasn't the voracious adult reader in my house. It was my dad. My grandmother, aunts and uncle were / are too. But mom taught me to read. 8y

kspenmoll Moms❤️ 8y

GabrielleDubois But I can remember when I first knew how to read. Really! I remember I read an advert in the street, and suddenly I realized I could read all I wanted, not just what the teacher told me to. It's been like if I was blind and suddenly recovered the view for the first time! It was... 44 years ago, but it's still so clear in my mind! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @GabrielleDubois It's so cool that you remember the moment! 8y
