It doesn’t take long after starting a read-aloud habit to realize that there are a LOT of good things happening when you are snuggled up on the couch, lost in a good book with your family.
But sometimes things get rough. And when that happens, it helps to get a bit more logical about the whole operation.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- the wide-ranging effects of reading aloud
- how a short time reading together really can make a difference
- how to help kids get better at listening to read-alouds

Before we link to the books in today’s podcast, I want to reach out to any of you who may need a hug after hearing about families who have struggled with miscarriages. If that’s you, might I suggest Karen Edmisten’s excellent book, After Miscarriage, or her blog post, Remembering My Lost Babies? And hey– I’m sending a hug your way, too. xo, Sarah
