    I’m a huge bookworm. But my kids, not so much. It’s been hard to get them interested in reading. I like all of these suggestions though.

    I love the idea of diversifying your book shelf and there are so many ways to do it that I’d never thought of. I think we definitely need more books about geography and other nation’s cultures and celebrations. Great suggestions!

      Thank you for always being so supportive of my articles Jamie! I am in complete agreement, world geography is an area we need to promote in our read alouds!

    What an informative article. I’ll be referring back to this when it comes to expanding our own library.

    Awesome! I know feel like I need to organize my bookshelf. At the moment – it’s just however it fits in. I love how you broke it all down. Thanks for this x
