Read Aloud!

October 12, 2011 by Ami 3 Comments

"Spend at least ten wildly happy minutes every single day reading aloud." 

"Read with joy and enjoyment: real enjoyment for yourself and great joy for the listeners."

"Read aloud with animation. Listen to your own voice and don't be dull or flat, or boring. Hang loose and be loud, have fun and laugh a lot."

"Please read aloud every day . . . because you just love being with your child, not because it's the right thing to do."

~Quotes taken from Mem Fox's Ten Read-Aloud Commandments

    Awww, it looks like they are really enjoying the story. I love when my older son reads to my younger sons.

    Reading is wonderful, and writing is, too! If you had said this to me at elementary age, I would not agree 🙂 Writing was my worst subject. Now, due to a homeschool writing assignment, I am a published children’s author! I’d love to share my experience with you through my blog. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
