Ben is a big fan of the Comics. He can spend a remarkable amount of time reading the two pages that are printed in the daily paper. Today we branched out a bit. We looked at the organization of the paper. It has four daily sections and we discussed the content that could normally be found in each. Then we looked through the Main page and came upon an article about the government changing its recommendation for the amount of Vitamin D that should be ingested daily. We discussed what foods have Vitamin D naturally (few), and which are fortified with it. We looked at the cereals in the pantry and found only one that has Vitamin D – “that is the only cereal that we have that I do not like.”
Then we looked at the Wall Street Journal for contrast.
The exercise was another reminder of the simple things that we assume our kids know. (It was also a reminder of what a poor newspaper reader I can be.)
