As a follow-up to the Read Aloud Thursday post from two weeks ago, I wanted to share a few more of the Thanksgiving books we’ve been enjoying. We haven’t even actually gotten to the books I intended to use; these are mainly just incidental library, used bookstore, or PaperbackSwap finds.
The first couple of books just happen [...]

I will be the first to admit that I usually don’t realize any given holiday is creeping up on us until it’s almost the day of. That makes planning ahead for read-alouds pretty difficult, especially when one relies on the library (as we do) for most of one’s books. However, this year, I’m on top [...]

Remember in last week’s Read Aloud Thursday post how I said I hoped to share our apple-themed books in an upcoming post? Well, those books had to go back to the library before I had a chance to write them up. However, I saved out our favorite to share with you. That’s what Read Aloud [...]

It has been rather a quiet week here at Hope Is the Word, as well as here at the House of Hope. (Quiet is, of course, a relative term, as I listen to the sounds of a wrestling match between Steady Eddie and Louise.) Never fear, though–we have been reading!
I picked up Down [...]

Are there certain books in your life that you associate with certain places because that’s where you were when you read them? Maybe it happened because someone special read you that book, and you’ll always associate that book with that person and place, for example. This is but one of the memories and associations I want [...]

We spent most of the days between last Read Aloud Thursday and this one on a little mini vacation to the beach. We stayed at a beautiful resort thanks to a deep discount, but even such gorgeous accommodations (which include everything from croquet to fishing, bike riding to beach combing) lose their glow when it’s perpetually [...]
Read Aloud Thursday::The Helen Keller Edition

We finished our last chapter book read-aloud and I picked up our next read-aloud without so much as a cursory preview. (To tell the truth, I was trying to find an alternative to what I knew my girls would clamor for: more LIW, despite the 3,127 audio sessions our household has had in the past year.) I [...]

Do you guys ever find yourselves checking books out and realizing once you get home with them that they are a little on the young side for your children? I did that on one of my recent trips to the library. It seems that I cannot reconcile myself to the fact that I have a [...]

Well, on the other side of the bloggy break, I am more rested, even if my home is not significantly less cluttered. We did get to a few projects that we had been unable to tackle before now, but we’re still in the process of straightening things out. I’ve just about decided that [...]
