The Read-Aloud Family: Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids by Sarah MacKenzie
3.75
The tone was a little too anecdotal for me and almost lost me in the beginning. Definitely sounds like a blog and feels a bit repetitive.
I’m glad I carried on though, once she gets to the more practical part of the book there’s a lot of helpful and inspiring information.
I probably won’t re read this one, but it did inspire me to make reading a regular part of our day. I will probably revisit the chapters on questions to inspire conversations and the ones on selecting good read aloud books.
I did really appreciate the emphasis on books that are accessible and fun to read rather than literary elitism and prioritizing books that “should” be read.
