Almost exactly two years ago I posted a <a href="http://postapocalyptichomeschool.blogspot.com/2014/09/proud.html" target="_blank">photo of Jackson holding <i>Go Dog Go</i></a>, which in our household is considered the gateway book to "real" reading--rather than strictly robotic "sounding out." Today, at age three-and-two-thirds, Jason read me <i>Go Dog Go</i>. He pretty much taught himself to read via <i>SuperWhy</i>, <i>Leap Frog Letter Factory</i> and the Prep School Prep sight words videos, although we've been playing around with BOB Books just in the past month or so. He's actually been reading them with big brother Jackson--very sweet to see the brothers being links in each other's chain of literacy. Congrats, Jason, and welcome to the wonderful world of reading!</div>

I liked the structure of a challenge checklist because I find that library visits without an agenda usually result in the selection of cartoon-character novelizations, etc. (Cartoon novelizations are terrific in many ways and have their place, but the book world is vast and deep, and I want to make sure my kid is at least being encouraged to explore new genres.)<br />
<br />
How to modify this list for your own kid? Check your kid's bookshelves for titles that have been purchased but forgotten, ask your parent friends what their kids are reading, and see what the local library showcases.
Select challenges that match what you have on hand or want to introduce and hopefully the lure of the prize will nudge your kids toward those titles while still giving them a sense of autonomy and control.<br />
<br />
I also left the prize open-ended so that families can adapt as needed.<br />
<br />
Happy summer reading, everyone!<br />

<b>There Was a Child Went Forth</b></h2>
<h3>
<b>by Walt Whitman</b></h3>
<br />
There was a child went forth every day;<br />
And the first object he looked upon, that object he became.<br />
And that object became part of him for the day, or a certain<br />
part of the day, or for many years, or stretching cycles of years:<br />
The early lilacs became part of this child....<br />
And the apple-trees covered with blossoms, and the fruit<br />
afterward, and wood-berries, and the commonest weeds by the road;<br />
And the schoolmistress that passed on her way to the school....<br />
<br />
The blow, the quick loud word, the tight bargain, the crafty lure,<br />
The family usages, the language, the company, the furniture<br />
--the yearning and swelling heart....<br />
<br />
The doubts of day-time and the doubts of night-time--the<br />
curious whether and how.<br />
Whether that which appears is so, or is it all flashes and specks?<br />
Men and women crowding fast in the streets--if they are<br />
not flashes and specks, what are they?<br />
<br />
These became part of that child who went forth every day,<br />
and who now goes, and will always go forth every day.jengodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11185080648368290285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558198772145788717.post-3174540361568480392014-12-31T20:12:00.002-08:002015-09-25T18:35:41.661-07:00Read-Aloud Record, 2014<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

I told the math class that to let something go by in class without knowing what it means, and without saying anything, is like leaving something in Howard Johnson's on a long car trip. You are going to have to go back eventually, so the sooner the better. The foolish metaphor has helped the kids, or so they say. They have learned to recognize, if only a little, the feeling of panicky confusion that slowly gets hold of them. To be able to say, 'I'm getting left at Howard Johnson's' how them to control this feeling, and if it gets too much for them they can always tell me they have been left behind; then I can do something about picking them up."<div><br></div><div>--Holt, John, <i>How Children Fail</i>, p 42</div>jengodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11185080648368290285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558198772145788717.post-16020600266270157022014-12-13T17:50:00.001-08:002014-12-13T17:50:29.528-08:00Poetry leads the way<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"I have no patience with those who say that love and death are not proper subjects for children. Children can often respond to these large subjects with minds less coarsened and imaginations less infected than their print-sodden elders.<br />
<br />
"It is largely in childhood, and largely through books, that we learn of attitudes to admire, which can then try out in real life--the heroic, the quixotic, the stoical, the impossibly magnanimous. It is not that we necessarily identify ourselves with every person in the poems or stories we read: but that we learn from them a language of feeling and enlarge our own vocabularies. And the attitudes which we finally choose will, whether consciously or not, affect our behavior all our lives.<br />
<br />
"Poems can help us in this choice by showing us something of the variety of possible attitudes and moods. A child who has learnt that death can be looked at in more ways than one is better able to cope with a loss of his own than one who has only learned the stereotyped responses of the newspaper or cinema. Stereotyped emotion--which approximates all battles to Heroism, all love to Romance, all death to Tragedy, which cannot respond to irony or wit at all--is always something coarser than any individual is capable of feeling."<br />

Last year, we got a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NZ2GFG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003NZ2GFG&linkCode=as2&tag=postapocaly06-20&linkId=K4PYBUJWW7EBAMT2" target="_blank">Montessori hundred board</a> for home--I think on the recommendation of <a href="http://www.homeschooldad.com/" target="_blank">HomeschoolDad</a>--and we are still using it with great pleasure. This particular instance was totally instigated by J, and he did the entire thing himself, which takes quite a bit of concentration. Well, not the whole thing--we've lost tile 59 (aaagh!)--but 99 percent, and it's so fun to see him growing with it.<br />

If you're looking for a math-y "toy" for your home, and you don't mind the inevitable 100 tiny tiles scattered all over your kitchen table, this is a terrific object to have on hand.jengodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11185080648368290285noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558198772145788717.post-68531397148762825912014-11-15T19:51:00.000-08:002014-12-20T18:40:45.691-08:00The Elephant's Child - Kipling - Feodor Rojankovsky<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First words I heard from kiddo this morning were an obviously dad-prompted apology: "Mom, I'm sorry I wrote on the couch in the garage." Me, groggy: "OK, thank you for taking responsibility but why would you do that?" J: "I wanted to practice my writing!" (I am totally secretly proud of this but will never tell him.)</div>
