To understand where we are in the conversation around how to teach reading, we have to understand where we've been. Let's dive in, shall we?
When I began to instill a love for reading in my child, I did not consider the consequences of having a baby who wants to read all the time.
I've been looking back on the last twelve months to figure out how exactly I managed to read anything at all. Somehow I have managed to eke in some personal time with just me and a book. Or what passes for personal time now, since the baby is almost always hanging around (or off of) me. Consequently, I had to come up with some curious methods for reading.
