"Calling All Grandmas!"

This post is directed towards grandmas. And, speaking of grandmas, I became a grandma again three weeks ago! There is nothing in this world like a precious, little newborn! One more child for me to help bring along the road of reading!

I've really had a lot of fun teaching my grandkids how to read, and they have loved doing it with me. Reading is our special time together. My daughters are very capable of teaching their own kids, but they haven't complained about me helping them out when I can!

I know kids aren't always cooperative little angels when it comes time to read with mom. That is when I would suggest enlisting the help of a grandma or grandma figure. Kids will do most things better for grandparents. If you don't have a grandparent nearby, maybe an elderly neighbor would enjoy helping to teach your child their alphabet. It would be good for them as well. Most of my students have just worked with their mothers as far as I know, and done great. But, with all the fun I have teaching my grandkids, I think other grandma's would love it too, and it can give you a little break if needed. You don't have to do it alone.
