Get ready for “READ-IT-AGAIN!” during DECEMBER on 365 Days of Literacy for Kids!
Reading aloud to your kids & grandkids is a wonderful and proven way to improve vocabulary and increase reading comprehension and thinking skills by connecting directly with a book… its words, its story, its message, its magic. The more books in early childhood, the greater the chances for reading success.
As a *Reading Teacher, Mom & Grandma, the words “READ-IT-AGAIN!” are music to my ears! That’s why I’m finishing my year of 365 Days of Literacy for Kids with 31 picture books, all “winter” and/or “holiday” themed, read aloud by me.
Each picture book is hand-selected from my wonderful local East Greenwich, RI Free Library, and I encourage adventures to your own town or city library during this time of year… to calm, collect and still the swirl of busy.
Sit back, enjoy… and press replay to “READ-IT-AGAIN!” (if you must sneak from the room)!
*********************************************************************************************************
December 2nd: Today’s “READ-IT-AGAIN!” picture book is Mouse’s First Snow by Lauren Thompson & illustrated by Buket Erdogan. This is the story of a special day with Poppa, filled with winter surprises…
Join me here each day in December for “READ-IT-AGAIN!” – on 365 DAYS OF LITERACY FOR KIDS! – fun, easy and completely do-able!

Thank you! I’m having the time of my life picking out books! xo!
I can’t even tell you how much I love this. There was nothing like reading to my kids and now my grandkids. I would have a horrible trying to pick 31 kids books. I have way to many favorites. Just the Christmas books would take up the whole month. Love this and you!!
