Reading to Charlie is A Challenge because Charlie isn’t one to sit still while I read. I’ve been looking for a way to get Charlie more interested in sitting still while I read. Through ClickSchooling I found a resource called KiddieRecords.com
I will be using KiddieRecords.com in our reading class because Charlie will have someone other than me read to him. This will give Charlie a chance to hear books he hasn’t heard of. If Charlie ends up liking the books they read to him I can purchase them.
I hope you check out KiddieRecords.com. If you do let me know what you thought of think of KiddieRecords.com . If you’ve used KiddieRecords.com in your Homeschool let me know what you thought of the website and why you would or wouldn’t use KiddieRecords.com.
I would like to share with you the first book Charlie would like to have read to him from KiddieRecords.com. The book is about Bugs Bunny, Daffy DUck, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd.
Charlie has always loved Bugs Bunny and the other character you will find in this book. When I was on KiddieRecords.com I found a lot of books I hadn’t heard of.
I can’t wait to have those books read to not only Charlie but myself as well. I like reading and listening to children’s books as much as Charlie is starting to.
The next book I would like have read to us is Winnie the Pooh. I’ve always loved Eeyore. I can’t wait to see what what Eeyore is doing in this book. Also, Suzzane loved Tigger it would be fun to read Winnie the Pooh because it would help me remember Suzzie and the characters she liked. A I would be able to share what Suzzane liked with Charlie.
Age Range: All (Everyone can enjoy this – children with parental supervision)
