This is a great article. It is so important for children to have prior knowledge of a subject. It gives them much more understanding and personal connection to what they are reading!

I love your connection here! Experiences are important to our family, I think it’s part of the reason why my sons vocabulary is so large!

Acquiring new ideas in order to let our kids read better is such a beautiful idea. I love it.

I love this concept and practice it myself personally with my 2 daughters and professionally with my company, Page’s Corner. Page’s is a learning company that pairs a book with activities and crafts. The experience of working with your hands and being interactive helps reinforce the themes of the chosen book. Anything to aid in the learning/reading/literacy process in a positive way!

I would like to link your piece to my blog post today….pagescorner.tumblr.com.

Thank you!

Thanks for this post Danielle! I really appreciate the fact that you are encourage parents to teach their kids to learn on something. That is why I really make sure that I have time for my kid.

What a great reminder to parents, Danielle! When I taught writing in fourth grade (and it was tested) the students were given a writing prompt that day and asked to create a story. So often the students didn’t have any background knowledge about what they needed to write about, so it was always so difficult. New experiences are such a great way to build that up! Well said!
