1st book in the ‘Orville Series’ The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar by Donna Perugini

Do you imagine teaching your child character is like making them eat brussels sprouts?

The key to character building is sharing your own faith-filled values with your children.  One of the best ways to impart your thoughts about character or your faith is to read a book that leads you to ask your child, “Well, what would you do in this situation?” Your child will consider and answer, then you’ll have a moment to tell him what you think about the subject, and how you would handle it. 

 Where do we find these children’s books?  It depends on whether you want simple character building or do you want to go beyond into your spiritual beliefs. 

Your child may be able to read the words, but do they comprehend what they  just read?

As you read with your child, try these techniques to find out if he understands what is happening and to help improve his comprehension:

• Read the title of the story together and ask your child what he thinks will happen.
• Ask your child to “re-tell” the story after you’ve read it.
• Ask your child to create a “story board” with some quick pictures that show scenes in the book.
• Re-read the text several times. Experts recommend reading text passages up to four times.
