I LOVE This Book !

I've been quarantining with my husband this week.
He's been living in the basement (don't worry, it's nice...
I swear) and I've been living upstairs.
​
​It was cool for a day, but I wasn't the one who'd tested positive. What I soon discovered was that this would be a great time to catch up on everything I've been meaning to read for the past few years.

I always have a pile of "To Be Read" books waiting for me. I've had this book, The Read-Aloud Family for a few years, but have never found the time to sit down spend some time with it. The first few pages, the ones that come before the title page, are quite impressive. The author, Sarah Mackenzie had glowing reviews from many of my favorite children's authors.

I will come back frequently to write about a my favorite nuggets of wisdom that are scattered throughout this book. For now, I'll just say that Myth #4 on page 116 is something I learned early on... It's not necessary for your kids to be sitting at your feet staring up at you with glowing faces as you read to them. Sitting still is hard for me, and I've had years of practice!  Just as people learn in a wide variety of ways, kids (and adults) listen in different ways as well.  So, allow your child to doodle, hang upside down off the end of the sofa, color, or pace. or crawl. It doesn't matter.  It's the connection that matters and while it may not look like it at first, believe me, they're listening (and remembering)

My favorite part of each guide has to be the comprehension questions. We read together all the time, but  I never know what questions to ask. These guides have the basic questions, but also, deeper thought provoking questions that really get my kids  thinking!     Andrea Lubitz - Charlotte, NC
