I second the <em>Honey for a Child's Heart</em> recommendation. I'd lend Heather ours but either it's already lent out or I'd only borrowed it from the library.... I remember it was good, though.</p> <p>Hmmm, maybe it's time to update and send the Sursum Corda Academy reading list. :)</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/190/6062006-02-17T15:55:25Zserina<p>Our experience echoes yours, Heather. I think one of the reason Maya has such good sentence structure and vocabulary is our regular use of complex language around her. And I have to add books to this, too. While baby books are fun and colorful, we always prefer something with a real story, real sentences, and beautiful words. (My favorite book on this topic is _Honey For A Child's Heart_ by Gladys Hunt. I can't recommend it enough. You're welcome to borrow my *autographed* copy anytime. =)</p> <p>I haven't been around Jonathan a ton, but I already noticed a bit difference in his language from when we came to dinner a few months ago. Amazing how fast they change, isn't it?</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/190/6052006-02-16T21:15:27ZSursumCorda<p>Between this post and Janet's recent one on learning Japanese, I'm thinking this kid would eat up the Pimsleur tapes as well as HIPPO. ;) I'm working on the Pimsleur Japanese and loving it.</p>
