One of may main goals in homeschooling is for my children to read good books and enjoy reading. I always pray with my child that they will learn to read so they may read the Bible.
I just came across John Maxwell’s video about encouraging children to read good books. In it he talks about how he didn’t get paid to do chores, but to read good books. John’s dad had a good reason he said “Why would I pay you to take out the garbage unless I wanted you to grow up to be a garbage collector. I put my money where my values are.” Our children and the books they read are one of the greatest investments we can make. John pays his children and grandchildren to do a one page book report. Here is a list of good books he recommends.
I have also read a couple of John Maxwell’s books and I would love to read more. I highly recommend his book Developing the Leader Within You.
