What My Child is Reading: March 27-April 2nd


J's QUITE enjoying A Mighty Fortress by David Weber. It is the final book in his Safehold series. And he's been reading Hatchet by Gary Paulsen for Literature Studies. 


C's reading Brighty: Of the Grand Canyon by Marguerite Henry.


S is beginning to read easy readers. He reads 2-3 Hooked on Phonics: Learn to Read books, Bob Books Level 1 or Learning Language Arts Through Literature Blue readers each day. He especially enjoys the humor in the HOP: LR and Bob Books!

Definitely check out How to Bake a Perfect Life by Barbara O'Neal! I finished this book and hope to find The Lost Recipe for Happiness next! It's a novel about a divorced Mom keeping her bakery afloat while supporting her pregnant daughter with her injured soldier-husband, caring for her step-granddaughter and having a second chance of love with a man from her teenage years. This is MOST definitely an adult novel though. I read Brighty: Of the Grand Canyon as well. And picked up one of my Mom's Romance-style novels (which isn't usually the type of book I read).


Our Read Aloud books this week were limited as we were visiting family 200 miles away from home. I did continue on with our chapter book, Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lingren, when time permitted between family activities, some school work and outings. 


What did you read this week?
