Do Your Kids Read Books?

I sometimes read the blog of Albert Mohler and I am always blessed, encouraged and informed by his posts. He wrote a post back in January about “Do Your Kids Read Books?” Interesting. Thought provoking. As a homeschool mother, what will I do about it? Does this change anything in my homeschool?

He ends with these words…

Do our own young people read books? Do they know the pleasures of the solitary reading of a life-changing page? Have they ever lost themselves in a story, framed by their own imaginations rather than by digital images? Have they ever marked up a page, urgently engaged in a debate with the author? Can they even think of a book that has changed the way they see the world . . . or the Christian faith? If not, why not?

Go check out the full article. It isn’t overly long, won’t take you long to read.
