Reading Aloud to my Tween Son

February 15, 2016 by Jennifer

Is it easy?

Well, it’s easy for my brain to decode words on the page, and I even do a pretty good job with the voices, but it’s really not easy for me to give myself over to this habit regularly for a variety of reasons.

Is it worth it?

Most definitely. The joys and benefits of the shared experience of reading a book aloud with my adolescent child is amazing.

Please read my full post at 5 Minutes for Mom today about why I read aloud to my tween.
