Story Time
As a child I was constantly reading and my children have also developed a love of books. We have read to them from birth and they happily read books to themselves or to their toys now too.
We have regular story time and I ensure there is always a wide range of reading material suitable for all ages and many of my monthly topics come from the books that the children are loving at the moment. As a childminder I find reading is a lovely way to bond with children and spend quiet one on one time with them as well as reading together in a group.
We also visit the local library to access more books and sometimes attend their story time session. During the summer holidays I encourage the older children to take part in the reading challenge that the library holds.
