Best Learning for the Coming Year


Someone once said, “I learn best when I teach myself.”

This week, ask your kids what they’d most like to learn about, then pursue those ideas throughout the week.

An easy and enjoyable way to do this is to ask your children what books might interest them the most this week.

We can all learn so much from simply reading a book -- new ideas, new places, new people, or even new ways of thinking.

You and your children can take a “field trip” to your Public Library or browse books online through Libby or other book sites. Then see what captures their interest the most.

Here are a few ideas you can check out today, covering various learning areas. Read them together and see how much can be learned in a fun and interesting way!
