Our favorite read alouds

by Graham // 3 comments // tagged with: Elisabeth, children's literature, home schooling

Lately we have been reading aloud together often. At Rebecca's prompting, I'm going to keep a running list here of what we've read (and enjoyed) until we get the Tumblon book list feature built.
  1. Little House on the Prairie (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
  2. Little House in the Big Woods (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
  3. The Tale of Despereaux (Lisa DiCamillo)
  4. More Tales from Grandma's Attic (Arleta Richardson)
  5. Still More Tales from Grandma's Attic (Arleta Richardson)
  6. Betsy's Busy Summer (Carolyn Haywood)
  7. B is for Betsy (Carolyn Haywood)
  8. Betsy's Winterhouse (Carolyn Haywood)
  9. Heidi (Johanna Spyri)
What are some of your favorite books to read aloud? (I need to start another post with a list of books that Elisabeth reads to us - and all of us enjoy!)

Hold onto that shirt!

A story about the grasps onto an object milestone, recorded Jun 3, 2009

I think the thing that Katherine grasps best at this stage is my shirt. Not infrequently when I am putting her down, she has a tight grip on my shirt until she simply can't hold on any more!
