Bedtime Stories

I remember my parents reading stories to me but it was more because my sister and I thoroughly enjoyed books. Not because my parents felt reading to us before we could read to ourselves was going to help us succeed in our futures. One thing I thought about while reading this that does pertain to my personal life is when my sister and were younger, we loved to play school. We were constantly recruiting parents, grandparents, cousins, and eventually a little brother to be our students. my parents never formally enforced the importance of school, reading, or books on us and yet we would go to school 8 hours a day and then come home to play school. We also loved working in educational workbooks that my grandma would buy. it was like extra homework but we would work on those for hours. This doesn't pertain to language or English only but more the constructs of school itself in general. When reading this article, I definitely thought beyond just the English classroom to school in general.
