I have always been a major bookworm. Fortunately, I have been able to pass my love of reading on to my kids. I believe that my husband and I accomplished this by developing a consistent reading routine at home and by making story time a time for cuddles and bonding. The result has been that both of my kids have come to love books as much as I do. Because I do a lot of unit studies with my kids, I frequently read a number of books on one particular topic. When possible, I have tried to share those books with my readers who might also be interested in doing a unit study of their own.
Below is an alphabetical list of books topics that have been featured at Gift of Curiosity. Click an image to be taken directly to the post where I have provided a description and review of books on the indicated topic.
Happy reading!
Lovely ~ thank you ^^
thank you, what a lovely mom, I hope that I can enjoy to read books for my kids.
Hello Katie, thank you for your amazing work.
Recently I sent my six years-old son to the EF english school in China.
They taught my son how to count the number of syllables, but they didn’t tell him what the syllable is and even he didn’t know what the vowel is.
My question is it is possible to teach a kids to count the syllables before telling them what the vowel is?
Thank you.
BTW: My name is Matt and I am from China.
Yes, children can absolutely learn to count syllables before they know what a vowel is! Children can hear the way our words are broken into syllables before they can articulate what a vowel is, so definitely teach them about syllables!
Hello Katie,
My daughter is showing lots of interest to be a surgeon in future. She is 8 and a half and very smart. I bought your “Human Body” (K_3) book from AMAZON and I was wondering if you have other books like this but more advance that she can keep practicing?
Regards,
Sima
Hi Sima, I have not published anything on the human body for older kids, although there is a list of other resources for studying the human body in the back of the book. Perhaps you can find a good resource there.
