Becoming a read-aloud family (& tips for reading aloud to wild boys!)

January 12, 2021 by Aprille Leave a Comment

There’s never been a point when I haven’t read to our boys, but homeschooling provides much more opportunity and time to read to them. At the beginning of 2020, I got the CD version of the book Read-Aloud Family by Sarah McKenzie and began listening to it. I devoured the book over the next few … [Read more…]
