those weekly trips to the library and all those story times at the library paid off ?
she's actually reading more than i did at age seven (shes addicted to daisy meadows-hoping its just a phrase)
studies show that if a child is a good reader she will excel in all subjects
last year she made ONE B ONE semester but managed all straight As at the end of the year.
im encouraging the young parents in my family to please utilize our magnificent library which is cool enough to have 100s of books for each level of reader and to get 10 books a week for babies...less for older kids.
my cousin whitney read a lot at a young age. she actually grew up in the neighborhood next to this one. was in honors throughout middle school and got a full scholarship to college. this is my goal except im encouraging she consider options like military, music, acting, or a trade instead of or in addition to a 4 year degree (4 year 1st-esp if we get a scholarship which im positive we will accomplish).
worried a bit because she says her work is too easy and thats what messed me up in school. the pace was too slow and the work not challenging so id daydream all day then fall behind.
anyway...tl;dr...give kids books
