The local library is sponsoring "RAFT" which stands for Reading Aloud Family Time. From January 18th to March 31st if our family reads 3 chapter books we check out there, we get entered into a drawing for a prize and we get a book as well. Now, our family reading aloud is usually the scriptures or picture books, once we get to chapter books it's usually a room full of people reading on their own... so this will be fun. Though I do keep trying to read books aloud to the kids, it just never materializes.
So, here we go! We went last night before dinner. Everyone has their own library card, at least everyone who can read.
Here's a link to a description of the program. It's a good library system. I haven't gone as often lately with the kids as we have been limited to one car and Tom has to get to work.
Everyone is busy reading today. Benjamin is reading the Redwall series. Michael is kind of between books. Emilie is reading the American girl series, which is always coming out with new books so she's good... plus she checked out a few classics. Nathanael and Samuel are into non-fiction, which is pretty typical for boys of their ages. Timothy, Christopher and Liberty found some great picture and board books. Mom and Dad found the Spiderwick Chronicles to read aloud. We'll start those tonight.
