I believe her when Charlotte Mason says that learning should be something kids love. They should love the books we read to them. If they are not interested in a book then set it aside til another time. We have had to set aside a couple books this week. Blake and I were reading Lantern Bearers, but cannot finish it. The book is set in ancient Briton during the time of Roman control, and it contains so many Roman words and things. It is too much for him and frankly I found it boring to read aloud. I love all books, so it was tough to make this call.
I also set aside Peeps yesterday. It is interesting to me, but the language is way too advanced for Ashton to understand. He is enjoying Egyptology and I picked up some picture books on Pharaoh and Ancient Egypt for us to enjoy as well. We loved Bill and Pete go down the Nile.
Don't force books that your children don't like and don't feel bad for setting one down.
