The Read-Aloud Family

  Title: The Read- Aloud Family
Summary: Sarah Mackenzie (whose podcast I love) expounds on the importance of reading aloud {in general} in this book....& she explains the benefits & even has a group of recommended books for each age group. I am happy that many of the books she put on her list for ages 0-3 correspond with mine. She gives great tips throughout the entire book, but especially in regard to how to make read-aloud time happen in your home. 

Favorite quotes: "By the time our children leave our homes, we don't want them to wonder whether their lives matter. We want them to know that they do. If we tell them enough stories, they will have encountered hard questions & practiced living through so many trials, hardships, and unexpected situations that, God willing, they will have what they need to become the heroes of their own stories." 

"If I don't take a few strategic steps to making read-aloud time easy to pull off, I'm probably not going to read with my kids nearly as much as I hope I will, either. If I strategically leave my read-aloud book on the {kitchen} counter, There's a good chance I will see it a bazillion times throughout the day. There's also a good chance that at one point or another, I'll end up deciding to read aloud." 

"The best stories naturally cause questions to bubble up within us. They spur more questions than answers & lend themselves to a casual, enjoyable, leisurely conversation."
