My son is 5 and some days instead of napping, he'll have quiet time and there are always books on hand for that (he's just starting to be able to sight read- so if nothing else, he'll flip thru a book to find "the," "a", "they", etc).<br /><br />Our childcare provider also takes them to the library at least once a week, so there is always a fresh crop of books to pick from which helps a lot in holding their attention.<br /><br />We absolutely love the Junie B Jones book- there is a series when she's in Kindergarten & 1st grade. I prefer the Kindergarten series b/c they are shorter and simpler for the kids to understand. I do have to edit these books when I'm reading them aloud- Junie can be quite sassy and sometimes uses words we don't (stupid, hate, etc)- but the books make all three of us (son is 5, daughter is 3) laugh out loud. <br /><br />Happy reading- and please share your adult books recs, I'm always looking for something good to read!Heatherhttp://wickedlycrazyawesomelife.comnoreply@blogger.com
