Our 7 year old is still having some difficulties read well. I know he will be fine because I have watched my first child "struggle" as well. Personally, I have come to the conclusion that 7 year old boys are not suppose to read until they are 8. Most if not all of these will be read-alouds or read togethers. That means the older and younger child will probably be there for these, too. I'm thinking it might be fun to give them there own basket of books to work on each week. I'm still trying to figure how to give them structure you know.
* Are the books I will definitely include. I imagine those are going to be enough. But, I can always bump them to the next year right?

With both kids off in college, I’m finding some time to reflect. It’s been
over eleven years since my first fabric collection with KOKKA! I’m slowly
