We believe that all learning is important, but reading is the very basis for all other learning. Our children & grandchildren (an Nan Nan & Papa too!) devour books at an alarming rate, lol. We try to keep our home library stocked with a variety of reading materials for them, as well as a fun & cozy, comfy environment to read them in. What I think is special about books that impart mathematics or scientific learning while reading is that YOU SNUCK IN A LESSON! AHA! We have one that deplores science (I did too when I was in school), so if we can sneak it in by way of books, hip hip hooray!GeorgiaBeckmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827682435912608823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-85874007879067941002013-07-05T23:46:54.368-04:002013-07-05T23:46:54.368-04:00Well written non fiction has the potential to insp...Well written non fiction has the potential to inspire and at the very least pique their curiosity. <br />Thanks for sharing this on Kid Lit Blog hop!<br />-Reshama<br />www.stackingbooks.comReshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393075423808667600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-16192625882009032562013-07-05T09:21:48.212-04:002013-07-05T09:21:48.212-04:00What do you think is special about children's ...What do you think is special about children's books when they teach scientific or mathematic lessons? I don't think that there is anything special if that is part of their regular environment. My kids know the water cycle at age 3 and can add single digits but the doctor was upset since I never taught them basic body parts. I had to google to find the head shoulders knees and toes song. I try to read them books that I find interesting too which is why Pinkalicious is at the bottom of the book basket.Emihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928381603385856463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-59637707803024196232013-07-05T09:18:30.003-04:002013-07-05T09:18:30.003-04:00Julie the Rockhound - well, that would be more for...Julie the Rockhound - well, that would be more for me than the kids since I have two rock filing cabinets of specimens from personal collectingEmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928381603385856463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-47089297090338805262013-07-05T09:06:45.356-04:002013-07-05T09:06:45.356-04:00I think my child would like to read a Butterfly Ca...I think my child would like to read a Butterfly Called Hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464782883122226050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-5990232509144332592013-07-05T09:04:07.994-04:002013-07-05T09:04:07.994-04:00I think it helps to stimulate a child's intere...I think it helps to stimulate a child's interest in science and math.
