during the recent school holidays, one of the destination were the national library. i wanted them to experience being around lots and lots of books as well as among people who are QUIETLY reading. i didn't know that there was a children's library in there with a sea of children's books.
nadia nasira found a Peter and Jane book, happily read it from page 1 to the last page. she was very proud. i read with her a book and i was amazed to note that she could identify the words she already knew as well new words that repeated itself. nashwan nasr picked up a book and pretended to read. after a few minutes, he picked up another which went on and on. some books he picked up, he will create a story from pictures. he also ran around a bit. daddy read to nazhan nasr who remained quiet as if he knew where he was.
we didn't stay for a long time as we know that their attention span is very short but promised to come by another time... i am happy that they enjoyed the outing. more so, my little girl who impatiently wants to know how to read asap.
