Summary of Sarah Mackenzie's The Read-Aloud Family - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was twenty years old and had just moved to Chicago with my baby daughter. I was sharing a small apartment with my husband, and we were feeling even more cramped than usual. I packed up my one-year-old daughter and a cantaloupe that was starting to turn too soft, and headed out the door. #2 The Read-Aloud Handbook has sold well over a million copies, and it is chock-full of statistics and data that prove reading aloud connects and bonds families and helps kids grow to be successful in just about every area of life, especially in school.
#3 The idea that reading aloud should take priority over other things, that even teachers in schools should shuttle other subjects off the schedule to make more room for it, was new to me as a parent. I realized that my relationship with Audrey was the most important thing in my life. #4 I had high hopes for Audrey right away. I wanted her to grow up to love God with all of her heart, mind, and soul.
I wanted her to do well in school, and I wanted a warm relationship with her.
