Story Time Kindergarten-?

As your child grows older read as long as you can to him/her. You can always read for story time harder books that he/she can read themselves. Children can understand maybe at least one to two grade reading level above their own reading levels. As I have written before reading to your children is so important. This a special bonding that you will not forget. I know because I read to both of my sons. The rewards and memories are so wonderful. Both of my sons were in Honor English classes. Both of them had 6 college credits in English before they ever got to college. Both are readers though, my youngest sons is definitely a reader. I have not mentioned my husband is a reader also.
