Today’s Prompt:
Little House on the Prairie: books that have had an impact on you.
Day 14
At first I was sad that I don’t have memories of Little House on the Prairie, I love to be ‘on prompt’. When I think of books that really had an impact on me as a child I just can’t get the image of sitting with my little record player out of my head. I can still hear the narrator’s voice and I know that my reading fluency, vocabulary and passion for reading were fueled by my read-along books. I created this page to look like the back cover of a read-along book. Let’s begin now…
Journaling reads: You can read along with me in your book. You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear the chime ring like this… Let’s begin now.
I can’t explain why I love reading so much – books just pull me into their world. One thing that supported my love of reading was listening to read-along books on my little record player. I had several stories and I can still remember the narrator’s voice reading to me. I’m sure this had a big effect on my vocabulary and reading ability, which led to reading bigger and better books!
I created this page to look like the back cover of a read-along book. I loved the bright colours and the diagonal design that showed a read-along record peeking out!
Fun fact: You can see the box for my little record player in the background of the photo on the layout!
Tip: To create the scratched record effect I rubbed a large grain sanding block around the black cardstock in a circular motion… TA DA! A perfectly scratched record!
This is the back cover of one of my original read-along books. I don’t have the record anymore, but I’m happy to have this book!
Let’s begin now… with scrapbooking about the book(s) that have made an impact on you! If you create a page about books that inspire you I’d love it if you’d share it in the Scrapbook Wonderland Facebook group!
