For 2025, I think I would
like to challenge you to focus on Reading. Knowing how to read opens up many
new doors to learning and adventure. If you can read, you can learn anything.
And the best part is, you could even teach yourself. Books can also make you
more creative by exciting your imagination. A book can take you to other times,
other places, even other worlds. Here are some hints to help you on your
reading adventures. If you cannot read yet, ask someone else to read to you.
1. Be careful what you
read. Check with your parents first. They are smarter than you think.
2. Make time to read the
Bible.
3. Look up words you do not
understand. Always take time to increase your vocabulary.
4. Think about what you
read. How does it compare with what you already know? Did the character make
wise choices, or were their actions foolish or dangerous?
5. Try to read every day.
It can be good to set aside a designated reading time.
6. If you find a good book,
share it with someone else.
7. Spend some time reading
aloud. It will help your language skills. A good way to do this is to read to
your younger siblings or even to your parents.
8. If you are able, try
journaling about what you have read. Writing is a good way to arrange your
thoughts.
9. Draw a picture of an
event in one of your stories.
10. Get a library card. You
can check out books for free.
Happy Reading,
Papaw
For the
parents: Children
who are routinely read to day in and day out—and immersed in rich talk about
books and the various activities in which they are engaged—thrive. And those
children with less exposure to books face tougher learning challenges in school
and beyond (Campbell et al., 2002; Dickinson, McCabe, & Essex, 2006; Neuman
& Celano, 2006).
