ReplyDeleteThanks for nice comment. Love that books like this keep them off tech stuff, too.
DeleteYou're welcome and I agree. My kids grew up without all the technology we have today. I wouldn't even buy a computer back then. My grandkids, though, were raised in a completely different era. I read to them every chance I got until they were able to read back to me because I wanted them spending more time with books and less time on their iPads and iPhones.
ReplyDeleteThey're all pretty much grown now, although four are still in college. I hope all the reading I insisted on over the years is helping them in their studies. Two are studying to become nurses, one is working toward becoming a nurse practitioner, and one is pursuing a career as a pilot. Reading really does make a difference.
It does make a difference. I'm very thankful for technology but if we're not careful, it will cause damage to literacy advances.
