Reading is a practice. Every occasion takes the child one step forward in the imaginative and critical journey. We should embrace every chance we have to make those encounters engaging, satisfying, and vivid.

For today's entry I would like to share two recent and two not-so-recent blog entries from Dr Trevor Cairney.

• Chapter Books to Read With Children 5 - 12
• Why Older Readers Should Read Picture Books
• The Importance of Reading to and With Your Child
• Guiding Children's Learning

Dr Cariney's blog - http://trevorcairney.blogspot.com.au - is an excellent and practical resources for parent, teachers and the community.
