Show Notes
In our culture today, is reading aloud an ‘obstinate act of love?’
Meghan Cox Gurdon, this week’s guest and author of The Enchanted Hour, believes so.
Meghan is the Wall Street Journal’s children’s book reviewer and says her five kids were a built-in focus group.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- the power of reading books again and again
- the value of conversations around books
- is reading aloud real reading?
I also answer a listener question about how to continue reading aloud throughout the summer when schedules are wonky, and share some of my favorite audio books for preschool-age children.
