The Read-Aloud Family: Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids by Sarah MacKenzie

5.0

This is the perfect book to have in your library if you are a mom, teacher, grandparent, aunt, etc. You can hear all of this information and more on her podcast The Read-Aloud Revival but it's organized all right here in this book. I would highly recommend the print copy since you'll want to dog-ear pages to remember which books to check out from the library or highlight books you already own! Even as an avid reader for my family there were many new recommendations I am excited to try.

By far my favorite part was the breakdown of how publishers choose the age ranges for books. If you've ever wondered why your strong reader doesn't seem interested in books in their "age range" she has great insight into one reason why. It's a great, uplifting read with amazing resources to be used for years to come.
