📖

1.  It gives everyone reading, knowledge.  Reading gives them information

     they can use daily.


2.  It expands their vocabulary. The more people read, the more words they

     learn and retain.


​3. It improves writing skills.  People learn rules for communication that

    translates to  writing.

Picture
January is always a time for setting new goals.  

What goal(s) do you have for yourself?  To become a

better reader? To be a better cook?  How about

becoming a more positive person?  


Write your goal(s) down on a piece of paper and post it

somewhere in you house where you will see it everyday.  Posting and

reading it daily will help you to focus on what you need to do.
 

​Good luck!

​Let us know how you do at www.bluemountainrhythms.com.

Create your own Christmas poem and read it to your family.  Here is a fun one I created. 


🎄

My Country Christmas



No Santa Clause or Grinch,
No Christmas stockings or presents under a tree. 


But a brown parcel from the Post Office,
With new clothes for Christmas Sunday.


A fireside with pots, cooking a country Christmas meal.
Pretty Christmas cards strung on cord across the room. 


Rice and peas and curried goat, sorrel, fruit cake, and tie leaf.
Feefies, horns, and chibums,
Make my country Christmas great.
