"Wow...it's a collection of Malory Towers! But she can't read this books daddy, it's too advanced for her!" Our son complained after their dad gifted his sister a collection of the series. 

"Each book has got over 200 pages ! 

Oh well I could read them to her or better still read them and tell her the stories he suggested. Then he was quick to add; but it seems all girlie girlie, not sure I should read them."

A month later he handed me the box of books, I'm done reading them mum. It's about a girls school , but I enjoyed reading all 12 of them. 

You can keep it in a safe place for Ada till she's 8 or 10 she'd love it .

Who would have thought this same child who wouldn't pick a fiction book to read till he was about 7years old would turn into a veracious reader .

Truth is reading for leisure is too much of a skill to leave on the table, so we set this as a goal and went to work . 

I will be sharing some of what we did at our PT.M Hangout on Thursday October 27 at 1p.m.

Clear your schedule, invite your friends who need to be here and join us!
