Read-Aloud Family

The Read-Aloud Family:  Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with your Children

Connecting deeply with our kids can be difficult in our busy, technology-driven lives. Reading aloud offers us a chance to be fully present with our children in spite of whatever chaos the day brings, allowing us to develop meaningful bonds that can form no other way. As Sarah Mackenzie has found with her six children, reading aloud to kids long after they are able to read to themselves gives us the opportunity to go on adventures together, side by side. Sharing stories with our children and teenagers fortifies them with the inner strength they need to handle life's challenges. Reading aloud increases academic success, inspires compassion, and builds character in a world more and more difficult for children to navigate without a strong foundation.

Sarah knows first-hand how reading can change a child's life. In The Read-Aloud Family, she gives you the inspiration, tips and tricks, and age-appropriate book lists you need to start a read-aloud movement in your own home. From a toddler's wonder to a teenager's resistance, Sarah details practical strategies to make reading aloud to your child a meaningful family ritual.
