Like many families, we enjoy reading together. Since my children are still young (age 2 & 4), I rarely sit down and “teach” through formal lessons. Instead, I read them books they love and rely on incidental learning to convey the fundamentals.
When it comes to kid’s books, we keep it simple. I have minimized our books and chosen to re-home books that my kids have outgrown. I also keep the books organized in a way that strives to teach my children how to care for them and the value of literature.
What does all that mean?
We keep it simple. I don’t have thousands of books available for my kids all the time. I ensure they have access to several and then I rotate them. Here are 10 books on a variety of subjects that my kids are LOVING right now.
